Hi All, I have been working on changes required to run an out of the box Weewx installation on Windows. I have been able to achieve install using setup.py and running the simulator with minimal changes, the main being writing a *syslog* wrapper. See https://github.com/dcapslock/weewx/tree/windows for my working forked branch.
Steps 1. Install python 2.7 for Windows 2. Upgrade pip and setuptools to make getting modules easy. See https://packaging.python.org/installing/#install-pip-setuptools-and-wheel. easy_install will be installed with setuptools python -m pip install -U pip setuptools 3. Install cheetah easy_install cheetah 4. Install Configobj easy_install configobj 5. Install PIL (Pillow) easy_install Pillow 6. Install pyserial easy_install pyserial 7. Install pyusb easy)install pysub 8. Warp syslog This is the main part of work done. I have written a syslog wrapper then when placed in weewx bin directory will be used when syslog module does not exist, which is the case on Windows. The wrapper uses the python logging module and provides both a local rotating file logger as well as a syslog formatted message out to localhost on port 514, simulating what happens on a NIX box. I have used VisualSyslog (https://github.com/MaxBelkov/visualsyslog) to verify. 9. Fixes found so far running Simulator cheetahgenerator.py - os.rename will not overwrite existing file on windows. So delete file before rename. engine.py - No SIGHUP or SIGTERM on Windows. Need to not register but maybe find another way to raise a restart. setup.py - Need to create NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False. If further work not done this will leave some temp files around.Fixes 10. Just for kicks, first 3 lines of syslog Oct 15 17:33:47 ZEBRA weewx[3768]: engine: Initializing weewx version 3.6.1 Oct 15 17:33:47 ZEBRA weewx[3768]: engine: Using Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:40:30) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] Oct 15 17:33:47 ZEBRA weewx[3768]: engine: Platform Windows-10-10.0.10586 More to do like run as a service but that is for another day - should be pretty straightforward. Please feel free to use what I have found so far. Regards Darryn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
