If you use pip to install things while in the WeeWX directory /home/weewx, it will see the setup.cfg file there, then try and install things in the WeeWX directory system. Take a look in /home/weewx/bin and see if serial ended up in there.
If so, delete it, then cd to some other directory, such as your home directory, then try installing. Make sure you use the python3 version of pip: *cd ~* *python3 -m pip install pyserial* -tk On Sun, Oct 25, 2020 at 3:38 PM Mark Jenks <mjenks1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Never had to do that before..
