sudo apt install python3-sortedcollections is the instruction I give for WeeWX 4.  Do I need to give that instruction for package installs of WeeWX 5?

Thanks, John. I figured it was something like that.

Marty: you can probably fix by installing using apt:

sudo apt install python3-sortedcollections

Rich: the OP used a package install, not pip install, so the best way to fix is a package install of sortedcollections.

I looks like he is using an extension of mine (weewx-loopdata) that requires sorted containers since weewx-loopdata v3.0.  The README states that sortedcontainers must be installed and the weewx 5 install instructions, step 1, states:

  1. Activate the virtual environment (actual syntax varies by type of WeeWX install):/home/weewx/weewx-venv/bin/activate


I’m asssuming weewx 5.  If it is weewx 4, follow the WeeWX instructions for weewx 4 installs.

This is ‘due’ to pep 668 and a ‘push’ for users to use virtual environments. It is warning the person installing the python module, sortedcontainers, that they  are installing into an ‘global’ (externally-managed-environment) location. There are a few ways to solve this.
Create a virtual environment, activate it, and install the module. Since WeeWX was a package install, this is not reasonable.
As the message states, override the warning using the ‘--break-system-packages’ option. It would look something like this, ‘pip3 install sortedcontainers --break-system-packages’.
If it exists, install the OS package. It would be something like this, ‘sudo apt install python3-sortedcontainers’

My thinking is that you are using an extension that needs 'sortedcontainers'.

Please post your configuration file, /etc/weewx/weewx.conf. Make sure you look it over and remove any passwords or other sensitive information before posting.

Should point out that I did try installing the missing module, but got the following error:

 $ pip3 install sortedcontainers
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed

    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.

Hello,

Just built a new SD card with Raspbian bookworm 64 bit and WeeWx.  When starting weewx I get an error "No module named 'sortedcontainers'.  Please let me know how to resolve this.

Thanks!
