No joy for me. I must be doing something wrong. I installed pyephem (pip install pyephem). Then I stopped and started weewx. My standard and belchertown skins still show 24% even after waiting for a couple of archive intervals. Is there someplace I tell weewx to use pyephem? I did clear the cache on my browser to be sure it isn't that.
