I know nothing about python either. The directions I used for 20.04 was here: http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm That's why it says: wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list and not wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
and maybe that is why your install failed as what you were running was for python 2?
