You might be blocked by os/python hell (long answer follows) but I think
it's more like unrealistic expectations perhaps. You're trying to run a
bleeding edge os with a legacy weewx that wasn't tested on that os version
of course since that os/version didn't exist back then.
[...TL;DR;...]
Fedora39 looks like it's a bit of a mess vs. old apps like weewx v4 that
were intended for older redhat-ish os versions.
- The weewx v4 rpms are signed with a crypto version Fedora doesn't
permit any more so you can't import the rpm keys
- Installing on a clean F39 system after manually downloading the rpm
fails because of lack of python3-six being installed
- but even after doing that it fails because Fedora ripped out the old
/etc/init.d plumbing it seems that the weewx v4 rpm relies on
- and if you try to delete weewx, that fails too (seems like there are
many F39 bugs along these lines) but a force reinstall with rpm got it
back to weewx seemingly installed but it doesn't run due to the six issue
you ran even though python3-six 'was' installed. Ugh.
I tried v5 current beta using pip in a vagrant vm of fedora39 and it does
install and run interactively, but I'm getting permission-denied trying to
start the daemon with systemd. I didn't look into it any further. The
exec stanza is correct in the weewx.service file, but it doesn't run via
systemctl. I hate systemd.
I also tried v4 via setup.py on F39 and that also failed with the six.moves
error.
$ sudo python3 ./setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/weewx/bin/wee_config", line 12, in <module>
from weecfg.config import ConfigEngine, Logger
File "/home/weewx/bin/weecfg/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
from six.moves import StringIO, input
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six.moves'
Note that I 'did' have python3-six rpm installed v1.16.0 from rpm. I
manually installed 1.15.0 with pip but it still fails the same way.
I do not see a combination that will work other than moving from v4-rpm to
v5beta-pip installation mechanism and moving a lot of stuff around
manually. There's no v5 weewx rpm at this time.
