The pip upgrade upgrades the *code base*, not the station data. The configuration file, weewx.conf, is part of the latter.
To upgrade the station data, you use "weectl station upgrade". By default, this upgrades the documentation, examples, and utility files, but it can also (optionally) upgrade the configuration file and skins. Because we work hard at backwards compatibility, that should be necessary only rarely. It's best to think of the version number in weewx.conf (and, for that matter, the skin.conf's) as "Installed by", not the current version. If you want the current version, use *weectl --version* You're not the first to get confused by this. I'm thinking at the very least to put a comment in weewx.conf stating that the version number is the "Installed by" number. Or, even removing it completely. -tk On Wed, Jul 19, 2023 at 4:26 PM Greg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have weewx V5 installed and all is running fine but when I do an upgrade > pip install --upgrade weewx then version doesn't change in the weewx.conf. > I assume it is supposed to be changed? > > I am running 5.0.0.b9 but the weewx.conf shows: > # Do not modify this.
