Thanks again Tom,
Hopefully the last question for today!
I currently have (truncated for brevity)
from weewx.cheetahgenerator import SearchList
import weewx.tags
class GarageDoorAnalyzer(SearchList):
def __init__(self, generator):
SearchList.__init__(self, generator)
def get_extension_list(self, timespan, db_lookup):
stats = weewx.tags.TimeBinder(
db_lookup,
timespan.stop,
formatter=self.generator.formatter,
converter=self.generator.converter)
latest = stats.day.outTemp.latest
print latest
self.search_list_extension[tag_name] = self._DoSomethingWithLatest(
latest)
return[self.search_list_extension]
When I run this, i get the following traceback:
, line 67, in get_extension_list
latest = stats.day.outTemp.latest
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'outTemp'
