Hello. So, I abandoned the Interceptor for use with my WS-2902D as it went
nowhere. I decided to try the Ambient Weather API Driver and registered for
an API key with Ambient Weather. However, when I run through the process
detailed here, everything installs just fine but I get these errors when
attempting to start Weewx.

The configuration file seems fine but it's not liking how it's in the file?

# in this file, which includes a value for the 'driver' option.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this won't work? I did this with a
fresh install of Raspbian, Weewx and all of the dependencies for Python3.
Thanks.
