I would guess that your RPi does not have a default locale set. To see what locales it has been set to, use a simple "locale" command. Here's what I get:
pi@RPi-bug ~ $ *locale* LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= The easiest way to set a default locale is to use dpkg-reconfigure: $ *sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales* -tk On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 7:14 AM Chris Richmond <tomny...@frontier.com> wrote: > I'm sure this is simply, but I'm setting up a new RPi for a VantageVue and > tweaking extensions.py to check for good time. > When I ran this stand-alone, locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') failed. > > pi2c_/home/weewx/bin/user> python > Python 2.7.13 (default, Sep 26 2018, 18:42:22) > [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2 > >>> import locale > >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 581, in setlocale > return _setlocale(category, locale) > locale.Error: unsupported locale setting > >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C') > 'C' > >>> > > And from searching: > pi2c_/home/weewx/bin/user> locale -a > locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory > locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory > locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory > C > C.UTF-8 > POSIX > en_US.utf8 > > So something is missing from the RPi itself that causes a weewxd failure. > Setting the value to 'C' does work, but an empty string does not.
