If we went pip, the Mac users would already be covered. FWIW, I installed python3 on my Macbook via brew, and it's great having a /usr/local/bin/python3 interpreter there that is safe from os carnage if Apple gives us any 'features' down the road. It also lets me mess up my python3 setup without risk of hosing the os's python the other way (which I've done twice in the last decade due to pip dependency hell and openssl changes over the years). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
