OK - thanks. Had a bit of a scare when I corrupted my config file and
NOTHING would start. I commented rain and rainRate out of StdWXCaiculate
and looks good now. I AM getting an N/A in RanRate om the disp;lay, but
that's OK for the time being. Will check when we next get rain to see
what happens.
It would be nice to know where totalRain came from - I tried grep'ing for
it in all the .py files and only found it in accum and units. Before I
posted, I actually commented those lines out and that did NOT work. Any
thoughts on that?
Also, I notice from the log I'm still using Python 2, which is what
/usr/bin/python points to by default on squeeze, which is what I'm running
right now. Are there notes on how to force weewx to use python3?
Thanks!
