One pip quirk that consistently bites me over and over again, is trying to use pip from the WeeWX home directory, /home/weewx. It appears that is what you're trying to do.
The problem is the presence of the file setup.cfg. Pip sees it, and tries to install in the directories it specifies, in this case /home/weewx. Take a look in /home/weewx/bin and see if your missing pysftp is in there. The solution is to clean up /home/weewx/bin, then cd to some other directory, then use pip. -tk On Tue, May 26, 2020 at 4:26 AM mwall <mw...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > > On Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at 4:35:50 AM UTC-4, Messy Potamia wrote: >> >> Well I knew that was too good to be true. >> > > the first error you posted, regarding 'platform_system' NameError, is > probably due to an old version of setuptools. to fix that, update the > setuptools for the python installation associated with the 'pip' version > that you are invoking. > > > >> May 26 10:30:21 RPI3 weewx[21915]: sftpgenerator: upload not possible: No >> module named pysftp >> >>> >>> > that indicates the python with which you are invoking weewx does not have > pysftp installed. perhaps you installed pysftp for python3 but you are > using python2 to invoke weewx? > > dog's breakfast indeed. welcome to the world of python dependencies! > (this is why we try really hard to keep weewx dependencies to a minimum) > > one way to avoid this is to install your own python, completely > independent of the system's python. then use the 'pip' from that python > installation to install all of the python packages you need. you may still > have to install the build environment and the occasional dev package for > your operating system. > > the you can use that python by setting it in /etc/default/weewx (if you > have a deb/apt or rpm/yum/dnf install) or by invoking it when you do > 'setup.py install' (if you have a setup.py install of weewx). > > m > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to weewx-user+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/82433072-10b1-400c-bf00-3cd94191cc5e%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/82433072-10b1-400c-bf00-3cd94191cc5e%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
