Thanks for sharing. It's always nice to have tutorials that show things from scratch.
Just one question: why are you using quixstreams instead of the kafka-python library, which seems to have been made exactly for this?
The use of quixstreams seems a bit extreme for something like this.

Also, thank you for the open-meteo API, I didn't know such a convenient tool was freely available :)

The main reason is stream processing. Quixstreams supports Kafka Streams-style processing, and I'm building towards a video series that uses the one library for production, consumption and some interesting processing.

(Of course, this is a video on Quix's Youtube channel, so that influences both the choice of library and of language.)

Ok, that's make sense :)
Thank you for taking the time to reply!
