The new document of pyquery module shows the method below will no longer fetch the contents of the URL.

url = "https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/" + location_id
html_data = PyQuery(url)

The right way

url_fetch = "https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/" + location_id
html_data = PyQuery(url=url_fetch)

Thanks @k1tyoo for tracking it down. I've updated the script to work with pyquery 1 & 2 now.

What are the default icons, as a lot of them are not showing for me, other than that I appreciate the work you have done and it's a great module :)

@CerealKiller-John thanks. I've mostly used font-awesome icons and few icons from nerd-fonts. This is my setup:

Thank you, I also was wondering is there a way to incorporate current location into this? As I am using it on a laptop, I wouldn't really need to know my home forecast if I am not at home. I know I could update the key, but I was wondering if there was an easier way?

I guess you can get your lat-long from laptop's GPS and submit it to weather.com's HTML form (using a similar script) and get location id from redirection URL. It'll a bit complicated and will depend on the accuracy of your GPS. Anyway, you might be better off with some API from weather providers at that point.
