(I have been running WeeWX since the very end of 2017, and updated a few times. I'm building with setup.py on NetBSD, but I'm quite used to python.)
There is some config file auto update/merge stuff. My usual practice is to keep my config file matching the default example in the source code, except for things that I intend to change, and after an update (of almost anything, not just WeeWX) I try to diff and reduce unintended diffs. And yes, I think this is normal :-) I have noticed that after doing a WeeWX upgrade, which tries to do something that feels like a 3-way merge from old to new configs with mine, and almost entirely gets it right, that the config file differs from the example in two ways: - a bunch of whitespace changes, not important but annoying - quoted strings are no longer quoted Because of this I have tended to update less often than I might. A few minutes ago I glanced at configobj and saw the magic words "round tripper" at https://pypi.org/project/configobj/ ConfigObj is a simple but powerful config file reader and writer: an ini file round tripper. So I wonder if the changes are something configobj views as normalization, and if instead - It should be configured with WeeWX'S whitespace and qouting rules. - WeeWX should round-trip the default files or if - I'm confused. - It's an artifact of my system (but I have configobj 5.0.6 which is current).
