Just take the defaults and you'll be fine.

Spin up a vagrant box in simulator mode and play around a little. 
The debian/stretch64 9.2.0 box has python 2.7.13 in it as the default.

Hi,

Every Debian install I have done has included python 2 by default. As per the 
weeWX User's Guide (http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Python) weeWX will run 
under python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7, although unless you have specific reasons I would 
avoid 2.5.

If it was me I would be using 2.7 (which is what I believe you will get under a 
default Debian 9 install).

Gary

I see that Debian 9 has several versions of Python including 2.7. I guess 
that would be the one to use?

I just checked a Debian WIKI and it shows that Python 2.7 is available. 
That would be the one to use, I guess.

When I did a package search in Debian 9, I don't recall seeing any Python 2 
packages, just later versions. Which package should I choose?

python 2.x is needed, not python 3.x

it certainly runs on debian - what makes you think there's a python version 
issue ?
