Gary,
You are correct. I'm not sure how I got the older one, unless it came over
with the customizations like extensions when I copied from my backup of
previous version. All is well! Thank you for the hints!

Where did you get the fileparse.py that you manually installed? If the 'readme
in the direcory' you referred to is the readme in the fileparse directory then
it has a mistake. For a manual install under a WeeWX v5.x package install you
should copy fileparse.py as follows:
cd /etc/weewx/examples/flippers
sudo cp bin/user/fileparse.py /etc/weewx/bin/user
The fileparse.py that you are using is different to the version distributed
with v5.0.2; the line that is throwing the error uses a python2 syntax for the
print statement. Under python3 print is a function that requires the uses of
brackets (hence the error). Have a look in
/etc/weewx/examples/fileparse/bin/user, that directory contains the
fileparse.py you should be using. The version number should be 0.9. If
/etc/weewx/examples/fileparse/bin/user/fileparse.py contains a python2 print
statement (rather than the python3 print function) then that is a bug.
Interestingly, the last version of fileparse.py to include python2 print
statements was included with WeeWX v4.0.0a3 (and it only had 120 lines); I have
no idea how you have ended up with the fileparse.py that you have.
