--config is optional according 
to https://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_import_utility

The paths "/this/directory" and "/directory" are just examples.
You need to use your actual pathnames...

If your import.conf is in /tmp, the command would be "wee_import 
--import-config=/tmp/import.conf"
If your import.conf is in /home/pi, the command would be "wee_import 
--import-config=/home/pi/import.conf"
and so on

Re: [weewx-user] Re: wee_import error using Weathercloud downloaded .csv

[Will Wray]

Hi Gary,

I really appreciate the response. I moved the file out of the /var/tmp/
directly and edited it from my home directory and it seems to be reading
better now. There is something odd going on with my Rpi which is unrelated
to this issue. I apologize for the screenshot, I'm doing this through a
digital ocean console which doesn't allow me to copy and paste. Thank you
again for your help!

Oh, and one more thing. Would appreciate if you could post screen captures 
as text rather than images. Images are often hard to read, especially on

[weewx-user] Re: wee_import error using Weathercloud downloaded .csv

[gjr80]

Hi,

It looks like you may have a degree symbol character (0xb8) in your import 
data and that is causing the python CSV reader to fail. Open your source 
data file and have a look. If there is a degree symbol in there you should 
be able to delete it/them and save the file. Probably worth while looking 
for any other symbols as well. If you cannot find a degree symbol in the 
source data could you please post the source data file or email it to me 
and I will see what I can find.
