Need to update weather applet license key for

[fermulator]

As per question on https://answers.launchpad.net/awn/+question/182887, and the solution posted here: http://awn.planetblur.org/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=2693&page=1&isLive=true#26996

Change line 606 (or 616, depending on awn version) from

__ws_key = "&prod=xoap&par=1048871467&key=12daac2f3a67cb39&link=xoap"

to

__ws_key = "&prod=xoap&par=1287722164&key=e11ec82daa20d876"

in /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/weather/weather.py and restart avant.

NOTE: Running Ubuntu 10.10 w/
$ dpkg --list | grep awn-extras

Today, stop working again. I think the reason is this http://portal.theweatherchannel.com/

hmmm, sadly it looks like we may need to just retire the applet. I'll re-open this bug for a bit and see if any further suggestions/info pops up.

Could the applet be re-wrote to use Google weather? I have heard it is open API and easy to code for. ( I cant code, or I would certainly do it)

New kew stopped working for me too
( New key:> __ws_key = "&prod=xoap&par=1287722164&key=e11ec82daa20d876" )

I also think the reason is this:>

I also posted this in AWN forums:

In my weather.py I changed line 636, line 650 and line 682 where it reads "xoap" to "xml" and this works without problems for me. I ran this on the last update to weather applet and the latest update to weather applet as well. If it's legal or not I don't know (in regard to subscriptions) but it works.

Best regards,

Johnny.
