For whatever reason, your copy of Pillow was compiled without freetype (that's what the "ft" stands for in _imagingft).
Try updating pip, then remove pillow, then reinstall. If that doesn't work, try installing the freetype library first: *sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev* Then remove pillow, then reinstall. If one of these works, let me know and I'll add it to our pip troubleshooting guide <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/pip-troubleshooting>. -tk On Thu, Feb 22, 2024 at 9:54 AM Chris Richmond <crich...@pobox.com> wrote: > Finally trying out weewx 5, and running into python issues.
