Andrew,
I know Tom has been enjoying the good weather... You are correct that each
python line needs to start with #, "r" is the default so it will work with
or without it. You will also need to put a $ in front of intemp, so
something like:
#set $fd = open("path to file", "r")
#set $intemp = $fd.readline()
#$fd.close()
then just use $intemp in your template as you would with any other tag. If
you want to be real slick could create a ValueHelper object from intemp and
then you would have all the standard weeWX dot codes available for
formatting/unit conversion, though that is starting to get complex with
imports etc, probably best for an SLE.
