Fair enough, but I would expect a packaging system to use setup.py to
install in that packaging system's preferred location, in a destdir, and
then tar up.

I didn't phrase that very well. Perhaps it would be better to say that the
weewx version of setup.py was intended for installation in /home/weewx.

But, you're right: generally Python's setup.py does install into
/usr/share, /etc, and so on. However, our assumption, good or bad, was that
users would use apt-get (or equivalent) if that's what they wanted.

Good on b16! Acknowledge to be "a minor", but it was inserted in b15 (b14 
was ok).

I'm puzzled as though "/etc/weewx" and "/usr/share/weewx" to be the 
'original/formal' locations of WeeWX. If not, where is the "official" 
location? (apologies for this basic inquiry, but there are conflicting 
info).

The setup.py method wasn't really intended to be used to install in the
system locations.

Still, if this is the only problem, it should be possible to get it to
work. Let me fiddle with it a bit.

[weewx-development] WeeWX 4b15 setup error

[Xant]

'setup.cfg' as the following:

[install]
home = /etc/weewx
prefix =
exec-prefix =
install_lib = /usr/share/weewx
install_scripts = /usr/share/weewx

[egg_info]
tag_build =
tag_date = 0

All files were installed correctly at designated folders, but the following:

/usr/bin/python: can't open file '/etc/weewx/bin/wee_config': [Errno 2] No 
such file or directory

It seems that the correct path would be:

/usr/share/weewx/wee_config
