PyDictionary is not working anymore and not supported alternatively, you can use nltk wordnet which is better than PyDictionary. Getting started with wordnet 

import nltk
nlkt.download()

then install wordnet and you're ready to go example:

from nltk.corpus import wordnet 
syns = wordnet.synsets("pup")
print(syns[0].definition())

output: young of any of various canines such as a dog or wolf

It looks like the release does not make the requests via a secured connection and does not follow the redirect.

Wordnet is useless for antonyms and synonyms.

@above, I am sorry for not being able to update the plugin. School had taken up my time. I will be bringing the module back to a working state by the end of this month. Thanks.
