You need to install either PyEphem or for the Skyfield based calculations a bunch of modules (Skyfield, numpy, and the weewx-skyfield-almanac) . Both work, if you simply want to get the almanac page of the Seasons skin displayed. If you want to know, which one is better, discussion starts with your needs regarding accuracy, features, availability etc. There are differences. If your requirements are rather simple and your distribution provides PyEphem, use it. If you want more, then Skyfield steps in. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
