The current version sure looks fixed to me. Try "weectl extension install https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"; to install the latest version available. There is no locale.format( ) in belchertown.py since June 21 2024 based on looking at the commits to belchertown.py
You can't necessarily rely on the version string you see in extensions. Looks like Pat neglected to cut a new release with an updated version string after 1.3.1 came out in April 2023. There have a been a lot of updates since that date.
