Gary, You are correct. I'm not sure how I got the older one, unless it came over with the customizations like extensions when I copied from my backup of previous version. All is well! Thank you for the hints! Ron On Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 11:30:20 PM EDT, gjr80 <gjroder...@gmail.com> wrote: Where did you get the fileparse.py that you manually installed? If the 'readme in the direcory' you referred to is the readme in the fileparse directory then it has a mistake. For a manual install under a WeeWX v5.x package install you should copy fileparse.py as follows: cd /etc/weewx/examples/flippers sudo cp bin/user/fileparse.py /etc/weewx/bin/user
The fileparse.py that you are using is different to the version distributed with v5.0.2; the line that is throwing the error uses a python2 syntax for the print statement. Under python3 print is a function that requires the uses of brackets (hence the error). Have a look in /etc/weewx/examples/fileparse/bin/user, that directory contains the fileparse.py you should be using. The version number should be 0.9. If /etc/weewx/examples/fileparse/bin/user/fileparse.py contains a python2 print statement (rather than the python3 print function) then that is a bug. Interestingly, the last version of fileparse.py to include python2 print statements was included with WeeWX v4.0.0a3 (and it only had 120 lines); I have no idea how you have ended up with the fileparse.py that you have.
