That worked, Neville: python --version Python 3.7.3
However, weewx still grabs python 2.7 . . . perhaps it's a bit too early (new Raspberry Pi O/S and a new weewx version 4.1.1 for someone at my level of expertise to monkey around with this yet. It's working, and while I have a "just made" backup on a separate SD card, there seem to be a lot of threads discussing this. I don't run anything but weewx on the Pi (i.e. no other python scripts), but experience has taught me not to change too many things at the same time. I suspect this is more related to the O/S that's only a week or so old as opposed to weewx. 2.7 seems to be working OK. I don't understand why weewx is not picking up 3.7.3, but there's no rush.
