Thanks, guys.  That's what I figured.  While I'm no Python guru, I was in 
the IT field for 39 years.  This isn't the first time I ran into things 
like this.  I will do as you both suggest.  I can add a "feature" to the 
stock file one at a time, and fix the errors as I encounter them.  The good 
news is I have two parallel systems . . . one is my live site:

https://www.ve1dx.net

And the other is sending the simulator data to a subdirectory under it.  I 
even have two Davis receivers,  each with a data logger and USB interface.  
I do so because I have this obsession not to let my site go offline 
(failing power outages.)  I always try to have a backup plan and duplicate 
the hardware if possible.  I used to manage Unix servers for up to 2000 
clients, and downtime was a no-no!

So . . . it looks like I have my work cut out for me.  It's something to do 
during this long, cold, dark winter.  One bite (byte?) at a time is the way 
to go when facing an elephant.
