A further thing - significance unknown - looking at the wiki the examples
in there seem to include semicolons between items, and I cannot see the
significance of format_None = * mentioned either.
Perhaps something more like:
station = Hourly Auto-Tweet
unit_system = METRICWX
post_interval = 3600
format = "{station}; \n{dateTime:%H:%M %b %d %Y}; \nT: {outTemp:%.1f}ºC; \
\nD: {dewpoint:%.1f}ºC; \nW: {windDir:ORD} {windSpeed:%.1f}kph gusting to
{windGust:%.1f}kph; \
\nH: {outHumidity:%.0f}%; \nP: {barometer:%.2f}hPa; \nRain
{dayRain:%.2f}mm; Rain Rate: {rainRate:%.1f}mm/hr; \
\nChill:{windchill:%.1f}ºC; \nHIndex:{heatindex:%.1f}ºC; \nSolar:
{radiation:%.0f}W/m2; \nUV: {UV:%.0f}; \

would also work??.....
