Hi Paul, Thank you for starting this thread. I was holding off saying anything as I too discovered that the new longer WU API key and forecast.py (v3.4.0rc1) didn't work. The primary reason in holding off in mentioning the WU issue was another problem I've been having with getting XTide to work with the forecast extension (which is what prompted Matt to create forecast.py v3.4.0rc1).
The other tangential item I've held off in broaching - perhaps the topic of another future thread - has to do with how forecast and NWS play together as the old NWS 3-letter forecast office identifier (foid, also referred to as HADS) and 6-character location identifier (lid)are being phased out; this is the NWS so-called PFM product. It has been replaced with the Point-n-Click product (quasi-official product name) allowing for more localized forecasts from a gridded database.
