No reason to upgrade unless you need the functionality of the newer versions. I have a station <https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KORHOODR8> that is still running v2.6.2!
However, the Python consortium will no longer support Python 2.x as of 1 January 2020. I suspect operating system providers will begin dropping it from their distributions soon after. So, there will be a reason to upgrade to V4 sometime next year. -tk On Sun, Nov 3, 2019 at 7:47 AM p q <peterquinn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am in a similar boat. I am running 3.5.0 on my site.
