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.

Hello there! Thanks for this wonderful module. In the past few days, I've realized that the "Feels like" section inside the tooltip does not print out any value. I'm not sure why, as the values seem to align with the website its scrapes from. Any ideas about how to fix?

Looks like they've added one more <span> wrapper around the temp value. Anyway I've fixed it for now. Cheers.

Is it possible to get Fahrenheit? I notice there is no separate URL for Fahrenheit on the website, guess some JS handling or something.

Possible to get 5-day?

When I click the popup/dropdown thing, goes to 404 page: https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/

ie. missing location_id at that point.
