as others have already mentioned you can instruct use of python3 either (a) system-wide e.g. /etc/default or defaults (b) startup e.g. /etc/init.d/weewx or /Library/LaunchDaemons/com <http://launchdameons.com/>.weewx.weewxd (c) embedded e.g. shebang (insert #!python3 in first line of weewxd)
my platform (macos) provides python2.7 native not python3.7 and i hesitate to set system-wide in case it impacts some other platform-provided utilities. i find startup approach inconvenient on macos so i usually use embedded (shebang), in my case #!/opt/local/bin/python3.7 because that’s where macports puts python3 > On 3 May 2020, at 10:30 am, Colin Larsen <colin.lar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks Tom > > Well /etc/init.d/weewx is there and the other one isn't so I'll go with that > but to be honest the innards of that file is out of my depth. > > On Sun, 3 May 2020 at 12:20, Tom Keffer <tkef...@gmail.com > <mailto:tkef...@gmail.com>> wrote: > You will have to edit whatever script you use to start weewx as a daemon. > > Look in /etc/init.d/weewx.
