Comment (by markspieth):

 Review Responses:

 1. This is not really a bug fix so was not treated as such. hence the
 major version change to 2.0
 2. The reason for the new dependencies is the upstream api now uses them.
 The updated API was chosen to be the path of least resistance as the
 interface is the same (almost). There was a case that the data returned
 was not as good as the old api so some enhancements were made. These are
 being pushed upstream to the parent repo.
 3. I agree with the API key being in the module as bad but as you say this
 is legacy and beyond the scope of this API update.
 4. Python3 compatability can be split out from the pull request if
 required as it is independent and in a separate changeset. Naturally my
 preference is to not spend any extra effort if people are happy with the
 current state of the update.

 Now that it (seems to) works with the older versions of requests and
 requests_cache, that should resolve any final issues.
