I am not a programmer. Please give some advice to handle the changement within yahoo. I found Infocenter a real professional program and like to use it further on.

Best regards,

I'm glad you have enjoyed Infocenter. Yes, Yahoo has retired the API I was relying on to implement the weather forecasting. It will take a significant rewrite of that code to work with an alternate weather provide. I've got some other priority projects that I'm working on at present, so don't have any current plans to work on updating Infocenter. Sorry.

Steve, thank You for your quick response. I am sad about. Maybe i can manage it with my own poor skills, to have the weather from yahoo implemented again. Then I'll contact You.

I had a chance to invest some time in adapting this to use OpenWeatherMaps.org. Updated code is in the repository now. You'll need to follow the instructions in the Install Notes. It requires you to get a free APP ID from openweathermap. Also, you'll need to install the python requests library (also documented in the install notes).

Thank you very much for doing this work and adapting to openweathermap. It works very well. Here are my steps for upgrading to the new version. ( my raspberry was not updated since january 2018 )

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt autoremove

pip install google-api-python-client==1.7.8

git clone git://github.com/kennethreitz/requests.git cd requests python setup.py install

Within the file google.py i had to add: "from oauth2client import file" - see following example: import oauth2client from oauth2client import client from oauth2client import tools from oauth2client import file <--- added this entry

For connecting to openweathermap api follow Stevens advice. ( It is really easy too )
