The user subdirectory is handy because it puts it with the rest of the weewx stuff, is automatically added to the PYTHONPATH, and is not touched during upgrades. If you install extensions using the utility wee_extension, they will go there. > 2).

All incompatible changes have been listed in there. There is now a completely separate customization guide <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm> that documents how to write weewx extensions of all stripes. Also scan the change log <http://weewx.com/docs/changes.txt>. I'm not sure exactly what custom things you wrote, but you're likely to have to completely rewrite them. I'm happy to help you through the transitions. The good news is that I think you'll find weewx far more capable than those days! -tk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
