Hello,

I tried it and it works fine (Python 3.2, Windows XP (5.1.2600) )

Here's what I got:

  {'current_condition': 'Light Rain',
  'current_temp': '37',
  'forecasts': [{'condition': 'AM Rain/Snow',
                 'date': '23 Dec 2011',
                 'high': '39',
                 'low': '16'},
                {'condition': 'Partly Cloudy',
                 'date': '24 Dec 2011',
                 'high': '31',
                 'low': '20'}],
  'title': 'Yahoo! Weather - Schenectady, NY'}


I'll probably tinker with it to make it show the weather here in Algiers 
(Algeria, North Africa).

Thanks,
