That would do it, my understanding of the extension installer is that in the 
archive everything needs to be under a single top level directory.

yes.  though I have taken out the readme and changelog for the time being.
I have found the problem.  I created the zip on a Mac and it created a second 
directory inside the archive called _MACOS.  That was confusing the installer.
Deleting that directory allowed the installer to proceed (and churn up the next 
layer of bugs).
Thanks,
joe

[weewx-user] Extension Installer Error

[Joe Percival]

 I have tried using the extension installer following the guidance from the 
github wiki on an extension package created by modifying the mem extension 
example.  I do not understand the error message I am getting.  Can someone 
please explain where I've gone wrong?
My extension package is a zipped directory named weewx_snow which contains 
install.py, a bin directory and a skins directory.
here is the error message I am getting:

raise InstallError("Unable to install from '%s': no common path (the 
extension archive contains more than a single root directory)" % 
extension_path)
weecfg.extension.InstallError: Unable to install from 
'/home/pi/Downloads/weewx_snow.zip': no common path (the extension archive 
contains more than a single root directory)
