Support configuration as script arguments

[hammady]

• Support configuration as script arguments, for example --lat 20.23 --lng 50.552 --method Egypt. These settings get persisted automatically so that later runs do not have to receive any arguments
• Set the volume of Azaan using arguments, for example: --fajr-azaan-volume 1200 and --azaan-volume 1800
• Make the script portable by detecting the current directory
• Remove files ignored already like *.pyc and adhan.log

Jazak Allah these are great enhancements. Thank you for taking the time to add these.

I left a few suggestions. One is a bug fix and the rest are minor updates. If you can make those updates that would be great. I'll merge once done.

Thanks again!

I don't know if this would be the right spot to ask but let me know if not I'll remove this!

I am just playing with the praytimes.py and updateazantimer.py and instead of playing the audio on a pi, I am trying to run this in my local mac with the help of crontab but what is confusing me is how could I work around this command that is used for omxplayer to run the audio. omxplayer -o local /home/pi/adhan/Adhan-fajr.mp3 > /dev/null 2>&1 How could I work around that in order to be able to able to play the Adhan on my local machine?

Also, it seems as my jobs gets created on my local machine but the audio file never really plays.

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

@Zamy97 that's off topic, but my answer is that for macOS the preferred way to run timed jobs is launchd. Although cron is still supported, but it is not recommended, and I couldn't get it to run on my Mac.
