if you install weewx using apt/yum/zypper, then the python will default to whatever python is specified in the package you used. for example, the python3-weewx deb package uses python3. however, for these installations you can easily change the python by modifying /etc/default/weewx. if you do that, beware that you might not have the correct dependencies. if that is the case, then just manually install the dependencies. this is independent of whatever mechanism the operating system might have for specifying which python is 'default' so in your case, assuming that you installed the python-weewx package using apt, you must manually install the python3 dependencies (you listed the apt commands for that earlier in this thread), then modify the python entry in /etc/default/weewx m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
