I am new to weewx, and just installed the Python utility setup.py version 
using file weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz from the downloads page. I have it running 
sucessfully (Yay!), but there seems to be a discrepancy in the Users Guide 
vs the downloaded source archive file compression.

Doc file: http://www.weewx.com/docs/setup.htm says to "Expand the source 
archive" with:

tar xvfz weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz

Note the "z" option in the tar command, but the "weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz" file 
appears to not have zip compression applied, and an error is generated.

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Once I removed the "z" option from the tar command, things progressed much 
better, and weewx now seems to be running fine.   Thanks!
