Sounds like a classic python2/python3 string issue. I'm guessing that WeeWX is running under python3 and the EmonCMS was written for python2 ?. If so chances are EmonCMS is returning a byte string which python2 happily accepts as a string but python3 treats strings and bytestrings separately. You probably need to a .decode() call to the result the uploader obtains from EmonCMS.
