I think I got it sorted most of the way. There's still an opportunity to figure out where to place the stanza on first install, and I can see it being done by wee_config when it changes drivers but am not quite sure how to pull that off in the install.py. It could also likely go into wee_extension source to detect if it's a driver but I'm not quite good enough with python to pull that off.
If anyone would like to peer review/look at the installation instructions or source feel free. https://github.com/livysdad27/tempestWS is where it's at.
