Tom,
Thanks, I just came into my study and found your reply. I think you're right, maybe use a new RPi as this one is already 7 years old but I give it a try with a new Raspbian. Hope I can find tomorrow the time a it takes a lot of restoring old date as I have now weather data for over 10 years and I will not destroy the time-series.

Honestly, I think you'll save yourself a lot of time by just upgrading your RPi to Raspbian 10 ("buster"). Security updates for Debian 9 ("stretch") were discontinued over a year ago.

Search the web for instructions. Here's an example: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md <https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md>

    Thanks Tom. I went to the site and I followed the upgrade
    instructions
    but I assume however that the raspberry OS is unwilling to follow the
    rules and gave me the following:
    Installing collected packages: pip
       Found existing installation: pip 9.0.1
         Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages,
    outside
    environment /usr
       Can't rollback pip, nothing uninstalled.

    To be honest. my programming days are long behind me (as you can
    imagine) and interpreting error messages is a little difficult but
    maybe
    you can she your light on it.
