I'm wondering who is issuing the "requires Python 3.7 or later" error. It's not wee_extension, nor anything else in WeeWX. Nor do I see any text like that in the PA extension.
I'm wondering if it is the zip library that is doing it...? Wild chance, but try unzipping the archive using the zip utility, then running wee_extension on the resultant directory. sudo bin/wee_extension --install /home/pi/Downloads/weewx-purple-master where, I'm assuming, the unzipped extension will be in directory /home/pi/Downloads/weewx-purple-master. -tk On Tue, Aug 25, 2020 at 6:40 PM John Kline <j...@johnkline.com> wrote: > Well, we know the error message is not erroneous. > > I assume it’s Debian (since it’ a NUC), and not Raspbian. > > Is it buster? > > /usr/bin/python3 is probably a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.5.
