Hello everyone, Thank you all for the replies!
I tried installing the module using both methods (apt & pip). Both gave errors. I tried a bunch of other things and couldn't get it to work. So, I started working on some other things on the Pi and noticed that the language was set for EN-GB-UTF8. I change this to EN-US-UTF8 and tried install the module again (via apt) and was successful. This make absolutely no sense, but that was the last thing that changed. I did try activating the virtual environment and could not make it work. I am new to the virtual environment of python - and very willing to learn/understand it. I will further try to figure it out since I want to use the mqtt plug-in (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/mqtt) and it requires a package that does not appear to be installable via apt (paho-mqtt).
