This program for Mac OS X gets the data from weather.com, I think:
http://heat-meteo.sourceforge.net/
It's open source, so you could get the parsing code.

hi
anyone knows of an online worldwide forecast service? I am developing some python scripts with Pyext external that retrieve different
type of data from the net into PD.At the moment i have been using yahoo weather, this is quite handy because they have RSS feed that can be easily manipulated from python and returned into PD.
Currently i have scripts that tell me the external IP of my
computer and another one that uses the IP to retrieve geolocation data (lat,
long, nearby city, country ), using this i think i should be able to ask
yahoo for weather data of an specific city and country and from there access the RSS.However I think there are some copyright issues with yahoo weather. I read a notice in the HTML source of yahoo weather saying that this
data is not to be used without permission " ...You are prohibited from using or repurposing this data in any way without express written consent from Yahoo! ..."I guess i could pretend i did not see the notice but maybe there is
some worldwide forecast service that would allow me to use the data?thanks
