I can confirm that this does work, I modified the download function in
forecast.py to:
req = urllib2.Request(u)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel
Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
return response.read()
