You are running the old aussearch.py. The download Aus folder contains the newer version and needs to go whether your use bin files are.
When I wrote the skin and extension the install.py method was quite new and hence no install. Plus it is also both a skin and an extension and I am not sure install.py can handle that.

I downloaded the .zip file (as above) and expanded it. I then copied the 'Aus' and 'Responsive' directories into the 'skins' folder. I edited the skins.conf file to refer to my location (basically I copied the information from the old version of the file, adjusting as required). However I now get the error: Caught unrecoverable exception in generator 'weewx.cheetahgenerator.CheetahGenerator' **** maximum recursion depth exceeded **** Traceback (most recent call last): **** File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weewx/reportengine.py", line 220, in run **** obj.start() **** File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weewx/reportengine.py", line 409, in start **** self.run() **** File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weewx/cheetahgenerator.py", line 163, in run **** self.init_extensions(gen_dict[section_name]) **** File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weewx/cheetahgenerator.py", line 196, in init_extensions **** self.search_list_objs.append(klass(self)) **** File "/home/weewx/bin/user/aussearch.py", line 253, in __init__ **** generator.converter) **** File "/home/weewx/bin/user/aussearch.py", line 422, in __init__ **** if file_stale and self.root is not None: **** File "/home/weewx/bin/user/aussearch.py", line 439, in __getattr__ **** if self.root_node is not None: **** File "/home/weewx/bin/user/aussearch.py", line 439, in __getattr__ **** if self.root_node is not None: **** File "/home/weewx/bin/user/aussearch.py", line 439, in __getattr__ **** if self.root_node is not None: **** [Previous line repeated 491 more times] **** RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded **** Generator terminated The relevant code (from Line 433) of aussearch.py is def __getattr__(self, child_or_attrib): # This is to get around bugs in the Python version of Cheetah's namemapper: if child_or_attrib in ['__call__', 'has_key']: print("aussearch: XmlFileHelper file: %s, __getattr__ called for %s" % (self.xml_file, child_or_attrib)) raise AttributeError if self.root_node is not None: return getattr(self.root_node, child_or_attrib) else: raise AttributeError with line 439 being: if self.root_node is not None: My 'guess' is that the attempt to get "self.root_node" is recursively calling the "__getattr__" function Any idea what is hapening here?

It needs to be installed manually. The skin directory is "Responsive". Place that with in the weewx skin directory and manually edit weewx.conf to point to it etc. Cheers Glenn (VK3GLN) Various WeeWx addons at https://github.com/glennmckechnie On Wed, 11 Feb 2026 at 10:09, Greg Reive <[email protected]> wrote: I think if you download the zip file and install the extension it might work?

I'm using Weewx 5.0.1 (and yes, i know there are more recent versions) on a Raspberry Pi running Buster. I've tried 2 ways and get 2 separate errors.

I copied the zip file to the Pi and got the Second error which is: (weewx-venv) xxxx:~/weewx-venv $ ./bin/weectl extension install /mnt/pishare/weewx-responsive-skin-master.zip Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf Install extension '/mnt/pishare/weewx-responsive-skin-master.zip' (y/n)? y Extracting from zip archive /mnt/pishare/weewx-responsive-skin-master.zip Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weecfg/__init__.py", line 714, in get_extension_installer __import__('install') ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'install' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./bin/weectl", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weectl.py", line 66, in main namespace.func(namespace) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weectllib/__init__.py", line 121, in dispatch namespace.action_func(config_dict, namespace) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weectllib/extension_cmd.py", line 116, in install_extension ext.install_extension(namespace.source, no_confirm=namespace.yes) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weecfg/extension.py", line 138, in install_extension extension_name = self._install_from_file(extension_path, filetype) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weecfg/extension.py", line 168, in _install_from_file extension_name = self.install_from_dir(extension_dir) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weecfg/extension.py", line 179, in install_from_dir installer_path, installer = weecfg.get_extension_installer(extension_dir) File "/home/pi/weewx-venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/weecfg/__init__.py", line 716, in get_extension_installer raise ExtensionError("Cannot find 'install' module in %s" % extension_installer_dir) weecfg.ExtensionError: Cannot find 'install' module in /tmp/tmpkrjxk9dm/weewx-responsive-skin-master/ What am I doing wrong?

A few months ago I noticed that my iPhone stopped showing the BOM Forecast icons. With the change to everything needing to be HTTPS, the BOM HTTP only icons will only continue to disappear if you host the Responsive skin on HTTPS, like I do at https://carlingfordweather.sydney, and you use a modern strict browser. So I took time to source some weather icons and adjust and size to suit the Aus Forecast part of the Responsive skin. The changes have been push to GitHub - https://github.com/dcapslock/weewx-responsive-skin Also included is some exception handling to mark corrupt downloaded forecast files as stale.
