Attempting to use policyengine-uk code in Colab notebook throws fetch error

[anth-volk]

When attempting to use code from policyengine-uk in a Colab notebook or other Python platform, the code raises the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is almost certainly from the non-public microdata. Even so, this presents a confusing output to users who may have taken the code from the Reproduce in Python page of the app, so I feel it'd be a good idea to develop a strategy to dealing with this.
