I'm assuming you want to keep everything the same, except you want to run under Python 3. So, all you have to do is make sure python3 gets invoked, instead of python2. How to do that depends on your install method.
A, If you did a *package install* using apt-get, you will need to go into /etc/default/weewx and change option WEEWX_PYTHON to WEEWX_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 B. If you did a *setup.py install*, you will have to change the very first line of /home/weewx/bin/weewxd to read #!/usr/bin/python3 Same with other utilities. -tk On Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 2:55 PM 'Season Ticket' via weewx-user < [email protected]> wrote: > if I choose these instructions what do I change home to, weewx.conf is > in /etc/weewx? > To specify an install location different from the default /home/weewx, > modify the parameter home in the setup.cfg file.
