Hi Gareth.
I've been puzzled by this and have been doing some debugging. I started
with reproducing your code above in my own copy of wunderfixer. I began by
trying to see what the actual contents of the error is, and that led me to
realize that the exception handler in that section of code isn't where the
exception is being thrown. If you look in the vicinity of line 207, you
should see something like the following
try:
# Get all the time stamps on the Weather Underground for the given
day:
wunder_results = wunder.getDayTimeStamps(date_date)
#except Exception as e: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I commented out
except urllib2.HTTPError, error:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I added
# here
contents = error.read() <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I
added
print contents
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I added
wlog.slog(syslog.LOG_ERR, "Could not get Weather Underground data.
Exiting.")
exit("Could not get Weather Underground data. Exiting.")
This causes the actual web page (the HTML content that describes the actual
error) to be printed on the console. in my case, the error looks like this
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Access Denied</H1>
You don't have permission to access
"http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?"
on this server.<P>
Reference #18.3f75d917.1560296045.2172682b
</BODY>
</HTML>
Could not get Weather Underground data. Exiting.
What this tells me is that something is wrong with my station
configuration. And yet, my periodic posts are sent correctly to WU. Hmmmm.
I know that WU was rebuilt not long ago. I wonder if that might be part of
the problem. Unfortunately, I'm not much of python guy so I'm rather on
the slow side in debugging.
I'll post more as I find it.
