Re: [weewx-user] problem with mac

Yes, I understand it comes from the libusb module. I still don't understand, why I can run weewxd out of the bash, but not from the daemon. It makes really no sense. 
 I will look into the pip3 list.


macbook pro:
configobj  5.0.9
CT3        3.4.0
ephem      4.1.6
pillow     11.0.0
pip        24.3.1
PyMySQL    1.1.1
pyserial   3.5
pyusb      1.2.1
setuptools 68.0.0
weewx      5.1.0


imac
configobj  5.0.9
CT3        3.4.0
ephem      4.1.6
pillow     11.0.0
pip        24.3.1
pyfwup     0.5.2
PyMySQL    1.1.1
pyserial   3.5
pyusb      1.2.1
setuptools 58.0.4
tqdm       4.67.1
weewx      5.1.0
So the imac has pyfwup and tqdm, while the laptop does not have this. Neither one has in my opinion has anything to do with wewx. And interestingly the setup tools are older on the imac. I upgraded the setuptools but no dice.

That message is coming from the libusb python module.   My 'guess' is your macs might have different versions of the python modules installed, or even perhaps one mac is missing something. Activate your venv and run "pip3 list" on each mac to see if there are any differences.

    Thanks for the pi tip.
    I attached  the log file and the plist file and I cannot find
    anything beside what I sent earlier. It just can't find the
    backend. And this happens also exactly the same way, when I don't
    change to bash with just running weewxd.

    If you go raspi, get a pi4 for the higher performance and memory.
    You’ll thank yourself. The 4gb pi4 to me is the sweetspot for
    weewx. No need to go pi5.

    Your followups re: which mac you use or which shell make  no
    sense to me if your plist file is correct but you are providing
    no logs we can go on, so best of luck I guess. Be sure to set up
    mac logging per
    https://weewx.com/docs/5.1/usersguide/monitoring/ if you haven’t
    done so, if you want to keep battling that.

        I found more issue. If I run weewxd in zsh, it crashes,
        hwoever if I run in bash weewxd works fine. So could it be
        that I need to have some way to change the shell to bash in
        the plist load file, for the daemon to work? and how would I
        do this?

            Thanks I tried the suggestion using the different
            python3. It did not work. I am able to run the whole
            thing in the virtual environment, which uses the python3
            installed there. So I guess that might not be the
            problem. Having now spent three days on this, I will go
            out and buy a raspi3 and forget about the mac. I am
            convinced it has to do with the imac I am trying to run
            this and now the weewx installation. I Installed
            everything on my MacBook pro (M1), following the manual
            and it run like a charm within half an hour.

                Did you try the suggestions in the post?
