My understanding is that the call to locale.setlocale has global effect and impacts all running processes, but maybe I'm misinterpreting the "not thread safe" warnings.

This is > totally infuriating and a massive waste of time. I know this isn't WeeWX-related, but it has to be said wherever CloudFlare is being promoted. Basically, CloudFlare does not serve Web pages such as your weather site equally to all comers. In the name of squelching nefarious 'bot traffic, CloudFlare insists that some requesters submit to Turing tests to assess their humanity before serving results. In an ideal Internet world, all requesters would be treated equally, but CloudFlare feels it is their mission to treat some more equally than others. In particular CloudFlare singles out blocks of IP addresses from certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs) domestically and over seas for special treatment — not Google, of course — because, in CloudFlare's sole judgment, CloudFlare deems them to be sources of spam or hacking activity. The wall of text posted by commenter Irma Dalakanitzkova is more specific. In part it reads: > Unfortunately, using proxy servers, The Onion Browser (TOR), or a > VPN will NOT DIMINISH but INCREASE the number of CloudFlare's > reCaptchas! > [A] simple comparison of IP addresses is easy to do and > spells a curse of doom for users of the TOR browser: One gets > bombarded with that reCaptcha crap — first to access the site, then > to view links, later to post a comment — SEVERAL TIMES on the same > page.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: All You Ever Wanted to Know About Phenology But Were Afraid to Ask
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You mentioned Chill Hours. This keeps coming up, and I've wondered whether I ought to try to tackle it, but it's not a hot-button issue for me. I'm aware that most apple varieties require differing amounts of "chill hours" to bloom. However, the consideration of chill hours available in any given location is usually moot once an orchard is planted. I suppose it's possible that chill hours must be calculated annually for other kinds of crops. Also, people are sensitive to supposed climate shifts nowadays. They want to verify government figures for chill hours, so desire to do these calculations has some currency. There are other types of calculations similar to chill hours and growing degree-days. Have you looked into Pollen Tube Growth Models? o http://weather.wsu.edu/PollenModel/PollenTubeModel.pdf The *.pdf file has an internal date of 18 Mar 2014. It's impossible to tell from the presentation foils whether this remains an active locus of research, but I thought it was an intriguing idea. You count open apple blossoms, and, when you have enough for a good crop, you wait until the pollen tubes from the first blooms have had enough growing degree-days to reach the ovules. Then you repeatedly nuke all the blooms chemically to be sure there isn't any excessive fruit set. - -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..

[weewx-user] All You Ever Wanted to Know About Phenology But Were Afraid to Ask
I've updated my Phenology Extension to v1.3 for WeeWX 4.6.2. There are no new features. My WeeWX extension may be downloaded from its own Web site, which assumes the reader has already installed WeeWX and is familiar with its architecture and configuration. o http://lacusveris.com/Phenology The discussion on the Web site about phenology in general and the need for models of insect and plant development is aimed at enthusiasts. Casual readers may, of course, skip the boring bits. Suffice it to say that phenology is the study of seasonal biological development. Growth of plants and animals is dependent on food, nutrients, water, and light. Assuming that these are abundant, the factor that determines the speed of development is temperature. Models of crop and insect development are thus based on daily temperatures. Developmental stages are observed to follow the product of temperature and time: Growing Degree-Days. The Web site delves into chemical treatments for apple codling moth, using this insect as an example of applying a Growing Degree-Day developmental model to a real-world problem. The data from a weather station tracks daily minimum and maximum temperatures, and my WeeWX extension charts when egg laying is likely to be occurring based on cumulative Growing Degree-Days. Then orchard spraying can begin with less risk of waste due to starting too early or too late. -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..

I've fooled around with XTypes for my Phenology extension. * [weewx-phenology](HTTP://LacusVeris.com/Phenology) — Growing Degree-Days development models for various insect pests, showing when to apply control strategies to minimize crop damage. The Growing Degree-Days calculation(s) are compute-intensive relative to the Cooling Degree-Days calculation. XTypes exposes three entry points that return values: scalar, series, and aggregate. I implement only the "series" entry point, and I keep a running tally of cumulative Degree-Days. It seems that, if I had implemented "aggregate," each cumulative step would have meant recalculating previous steps at factorial cost, but that's just me. I agree the Chilling Hours calculations seem relatively simple, but never let it be said that researchers in the Life Sciences can leave any particularly elegant concept uncluttered. Here is a more or less grammatical overview of various kinds of Chilling Hours calculations. You may overlook the Climate Change hysteria at the end. The Utah method obviously requires quite a few machine cycles, but matching the Queensland method's curve might require quite a few more. * [Chill Hours and Fruit Trees](https://practicalprimate.com/chill-hours/) — Many deciduous fruit trees will not give you the fruit yields you want unless your property receives adequate chill hours. But what are chill hours and why are they so important? ... so both Chill Hours and Growing Degree-Days potentially challenge WeeWX's data collection, calculation, reporting, and image generation capabilities. I developed a kludge to handle Growing Degree-Days because treating orchard insects and disease is a season-to-season battle and many treatments depend on such calculations. I am not so interested in Chill Hours because that has more to do with orchard siting and choice of cultivars, which tend to be one-off decisions. However, Chill Hours (in whatever manifestation) does keep coming up here and on the other discussion group I frequent. Perhaps this is due to ongoing Climate-Change concerns. * [Growing Fruit](https://growingfruit.org/search?q=chill%20hours) I wonder whether I have gone down the right chute with the Phenology Extension's Growing Degree-Days calculation and imaging capacity. Does adding Chill Hours call for a more general approach? I sadly fear the appetite for reporting Chill Hours does not necessarily imply the desire or ability to configure WeeWX to do the appropriate calculations or interpret the results.

There must be some *javascript* modules that already exist for producing real-time graphs from hypertext markup similar to the way algebraic formulae are rendered by MathJax: o https://www.mathjax.org/ Then WeeWX could provide Cheetah *.tmpl files for the charts without having to provide the *imagegenerator.py*. ... but I haven't found any *javascript* charting modules that seem robustly supported. This surely is **not** the focus of *pillow* or *matplotlib*. These are both module libraries for creating image files, not necessarily for rendering charts in *.html. The "P" in *pillow* stands for Python, and it can be used online from well-formed Python *cgi* scripts. If your goal is to force the reader to spend his own machine cycles to render your graphics, then *pillow* is not for you because it runs on the server side, not the client. In the case of WeeWX, *pillow* is called by the *imagegenerator.py*. Then, the resulting offline image files are uploaded to wherever your web page(s) can get at them. You are, however, stuck with whatever functionality is baked into *imagegenerator.py*. *matplotlib* is similar, but with higher-level instructions for rendering different kinds of plots. Neither *pillow* nor *matplotlib* seem to provide any native scripting language for building charts. Instead, they provide libraries of Python object classes for you to use in your own Python scripts. *Gimp* does provide a scripting function, though. It just doesn't seem to be well documented. I believe you're expected to record scripts during a live *Gimp* session and edit them afterward. I gather it's mostly useful for applying a fixed repertoire of filters to photos gathered from the wild. You can use *netpbm* and *imagemagick* for that, too. Both of those can be manipulated from *shell* scripts. It comes down to this IMNSHO: Producing graphs with any degree of flexibility is deucedly difficult because of the wordiness required.

I'm glad you asked. In terms of cumulative Growing Degree-Days, detail is important. Decisions about when to spray chemicals, for example, are made day-to-day. Five days spans the time between "too early" and too late." If the chart is too wide, the time detail and the difference between starting cumulative GDD and ending is not so obvious, so the chart is only 28 days wide. For the sake of the model the accumulation, however, must begin on the "start date," whenever that is, even though it may be farther than 28 days in the past. You can try making the "time_length" for the "four-week_images" longer, but this probably will cause the x-axis limits to snap to month boundaries. You will lose the daily granularity of the 28-day charts. You can change the same time constant (2419200 seconds) in the $SKIN_ROOT/Phenology/cumulative_growing_degree_days.html.tmpl to print a longer history, too. - -- .. Be Seeing You, ..

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Cydia pomonella
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This appears to be a bug with Python 3.5. o https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16950394/why-is-a-trailing-comma-a-syntaxerror-in-an-argument-list-that-uses-args-syntax Apparently a trailing comma after "arbitrary" function arguments was not a part of the language specification at the time or was implemented incorrectly. Guido van Rossum, the creator Python and Benevolent Dictator for Life, has spoken, and the trailing comma is fixed in Python 3.6. Let's see whether I can say this in a nice way. My impulse has always been to include a trailing comma anywhere I might be inclined to add a line later. Upon thinking back, I suppose I was never able to get away with that in Python 2, but, after switching to Python 3 at 3.7, I didn't get caught again. I don't propose to change the "Phenology" WeeWX extension, though, because I side with Guido: The trailing comma is good practice, and all future Python interpreters should conform with it. You may wish to upgrade to Python 3.6+. If that doesn't work for you, eliminating the trailing commas after "arbitrary" arguments should be do-able and fix the problem. I apologize for the trouble. - -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..

Models developed in one part of the world may not be immediately applicable to other parts. Many insect species apparently have local strains that are adapted to local conditions. The models are robust enough to be useful without exactly matching local conditions, and differences between modeling techniques are minor. There are all kinds of weather-related mathematical models with agribusiness applications beyond just weather prediction. Recently, I stumbled upon one that models the growth of pollen tubes in apples dependent upon temperature. The idea is that you can burn off the flowers by spraying lime sulfur. The trick is to do this after the pollen tubes for the king fruit have reached their ovaries and to keep doing it often enough to keep new pollen tubes from reaching theirs. This favors the earliest flowers while thinning the rest of the crop in (hopefully) an organically acceptable way. There are attendant risks. Early pollination may not be as reliable as you suppose or as you hope. Different varieties of apples have different pollen-tube lengths, and the germ plasm traverses them at different rates, so you may not be using an appropriate model if you have a different pollinator or an odd-ball variety of apple or even a variant of a well tested variety.

If so, what's to stop you from simply using $x, $y, and > $z in the template? Thanks for your reply to my rather muddled query. I'm writing a WeeWX extension that lets the User choose from a suite of models. There are too many to calculate, so I want to calculate only those of interest. I'm struggling to explain this to myself, too, and my conceptualization of the problem is evolving, so I apologize for inconsistency with my previous posts. The models don't really have parameters. There are underlying parameterized calculations, but the choice of the model dictates the choice of the parameters. I expect the User to choose a handful of models. I'll make each chosen model *name* the *name* of an XType variable and ignore the models that are not chosen. I'll provide a Cheetah template for a standard HTML report that includes group breaks for each temperature development model and lines for daily min/max temperatures, growing-degree-days, cumulative degree-days, and development event horizons. In the model headers I'd like to show the actual calculation parameters used by the model. These are not in the User-defined part of the config, but in the model-definition part of the config, which I'd rather the User kept his paws out of, so I need to walk the various configs in the template in the same way that I walk the same configs in the XType instantiation code to look up parameters by model *name* ... unless there's a way to get an XType variable to cough up metadata in addition to numerical series. I've settled on a solution, though. I'll include my Python XType instantiation module in my Cheetah template and reference the same config-walking code (a non-User-oriented class) in both places. (The config-walking code should not need to be run on each evaluation of the XType variable but only at instantiation. It will need to be run on every Cheetah report generation.)

[weewx-user] Reports and Images from Complex Models
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've been toying with an xtypes extension to model insect and crop development. I have 200 temperature development models for over 100 species. I don't want to calculate all but a handful of current interest. The trouble is that I want to pass not only the calculated series but also the parameter values for the chosen models to Cheetah for printing as part of each report, but I can't see how. Parameter values are two or three, but names and stages of development can be two or three more. I can duplicate walking the configobj dictionaries in both places (in my xtypes module and my Cheetah template) to gather the necessary info, but that seems inelegant. Are there user-extensible structures in common between xtype engines and report engines that I can exploit to pass a dictionary of dictionaries of static values? Is there some stunt I can pull, extending the Cheetah search_list or the config_dict as a side-effect of instantiating my xtypes? P. S.: I've resigned myself to writing my own image engine so, if I can conquer the Cheetah beast, I should be able to build on that experience. - -- .. Be Seeing You, ..

Thanks for your reply. Yes, but it's more than analogous; it's the identical code to cooling-degree days. This is the max-min calculation used in crop science. What I refer to as growing-degree-days is a wide family of insect-development models. These depend on temperature but, like max-min, are non-linear at the threshold. Whether they become independent of temperature above the cutoff or actually decline is up to the modeler's interpretation of the behavior of his favorite insect (sub)species, and he has various mathematical techniques with which to work his will. I hope to be able to provide *python* functions for growing-degree-days on daily max/min temps, threshold, and cutoff that will exhaust the research literature. Here is why I regard growing-degree-days models superior to max-min. For me in Sheboygan: The growing degree-days (GDD) calculated by Baskerville and Emin's single sine horizontal cutoff method outruns the conventional degree-days (DD) calculated by the max-min method by about a week. o http://lacusveris.com/cydia/models.shtml#x83 > Second, see issue #341 <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/341>, > which discusses support for generating JSON series using the Cheetah > generator.

Yes, *json* or *csv*-formatted strings (wrapped to sensible margin widths, of course) would be nifty. This would make *html*-embedded *javascript* code very terse. I'm under the impression the absence of the patch is not a stopper because I've been generating *.csv files from *cheetah* all along ... with *for* loops, of course. I'm also under the impression that *cheetah* can generate *python* code from a template. I'd hope to keep all the specs for an image or a suite of images together in one *python* module including the data, cutoff dates, curve names, colors, axis labels, titles, etc, etc, etc. It's not something you'd do with a compiled language, but interpreted languages almost beg to be abused in this way. I haven't tried any of this, yet. I reserve the right to change my mind. - -- .. Be Seeing You, .. Chuck Rhode, Sheboygan, WI, USA ..

[weewx-user] Cydia pomonella
A couple of years ago, I developed growing-degree-day graphs to display codling moth development using *weeWX*. o http://lacusveris.com/cydia/index.shtml I've been lurking on the weewx-user@googlegroups.com mailing list since then. Now, I'm finally ready to upgrade to *weeWX 4*, but I have some embroidery on the *python 2* code that I need to migrate to *python 3*. The magnitude of this task causes me to rethink my two-year-old approach. I cloned weeWX's *ImageGenerator* to access its own database, do its own growing-degree-day calculations, and generate its own Python Imaging Lib (PIL) images. This was not easy, but it was good enough ... then. Today, I'm bedeviled by notions that perhaps a more general approach would be nearly as easy (or hard) to achieve and might find utility for other *weeWX* applications. I guess you'd say I've fallen in love with *cheetah* and have taken to looking at all problems as templating applications. (Full disclosure: I seem to recall that, in a previous life, I was a SPERRY (Univac/UNiSYS) *SKEL* programmer.) ... so I ask this somewhat rhetorical question: Has there been any discussion about templating image generation through *cheetah*? I don't recall seeing any such discussion although I've seen some talk about others' frustrations with the limitations of *ImageGenerator* that mirror my own. Apparently the limitation of not being able to draw y-axis horizons has been lifted in *weeWX 4*, but limitations such as not being able to apply a second y-axis have not. To be sure, these limitations do not wreck the whole notion of *weeWX* or prevent users' workarounds like mine. On the other hand, they are examples only and surely don't exhaust the kinds of drawings that *ImageGenerator* in particular and PIL in general are NOT suited to. In my mind templating is for text only, so I'm mystified by what I'm asking. I can't feature what an imaging template would look like. On the other hand, I'm attracted to the notion of providing the growing-degree-day calculations through *get_extension_list* for use by *cheetah* in templates for ... generating images. o Perhaps images could be conjured in real-time using something like Google Chart's Visualization JavaScript APIs. Embedding the JavaScript (and data) in *cheetah* templates should be straightforward. This relies on (an indeterminate amount of) client horsepower being available to conjure the images. Also, the host site will wish to serve the (huge burden of) JavaScript on every access to avoid the appearance of cross-site scripting if possible. And it makes any such application dependent on a big, fickle outside software-development organization, which will be forever totally oblivious of the needs of the *weeWX* community among others. o Perhaps images could be conjured ahead of time as they are now using a *python* script, but the script itself would be a *cheetah* template. This would allow specially calculated data to be embedded. Images could then be uploaded and served to all comers without further modification until the next generation cycle with great savings of client-side and server-side resources. I'm not talking here about a generalized image-scripting language, but a *python* module that imports some handy special-purpose classes to make *weeWX* image generation fairly terse. Of course, images are deceptively simple things that hide excruciatingly detailed specs. Templating images will not be easy. It will not replace *ImageGenerator*, nor will it ever be for the faint-of-heart. I think generating a *python* image-generation script from *cheetah* has the advantage, though, of abstracting image generation from the database structure, reporting cycles, and *weeWX* implementation details. It would promote *weeWX* extensibility. Also, it opens the possibility of using plotting packages other than PIL. My inclination is to use *matplotlib* instead. Would those who have used both recommend something else? > If you can looke into the Seedes of Time, > And say, which Graine will grow, and which will not, > Speake then to me, who neyther begge, nor feare > Your fauors, nor your hate. I'd like my development not to conflict with previous or future *weeWX* development. Are there things that have been tried and abandoned that would impact image templating? Are there things in the works that would conflict with using *matplotlib*? Are there better options for image templating? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
