Ah! The advantages of cutting and pasting over a summarization. You were having a PYTHONPATH problem.
Sounds like you got things working by using the "python -m user.byows_rpi" method. The other method should also work with an explicit PYTHONPATH. Something like *PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/byows_rpi.py* No matter. You got it working. As for the TypeError exception: now you're deep into the driver and I have no experience with it. You'll have to ask the author. -tk On Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 3:04 PM Jan Bennett <jancbenn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Following your above suggestion about a different way to try running the > file, I get two different responses depending on which one I run: > > /usr/share/weewx $ python user/byows_rpi.py > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/share/weewx/user/byows_rpi.py", line 34, in <module> > import weewx.drivers > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'weewx' > > and > > /usr/share/weewx $ python -m user.byows_rpi > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main > return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, > File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code > exec(code, run_globals) > File "/usr/share/weewx/user/byows_rpi.py", line 335, in <module> > station = ByowsRpiStation() > File "/usr/share/weewx/user/byows_rpi.py", line 113, in __init__ > self.bme280_sensor.load_calibration_params(self.bme280_bus, > self.bme280_address) > File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/bme280/__init__.py", line > 154, in load_calibration_params > compensation_params.dig_T1 = read.unsigned_short(0x88) > File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/bme280/reader.py", line 40, > in unsigned_short > return self._bus.read_word_data(self._address, register) & 0xffff > File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/smbus2/smbus2.py", line > 470, in read_word_data > self._set_address(i2c_addr, force=force) > File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/smbus2/smbus2.py", line > 354, in _set_address > ioctl(self.fd, I2C_SLAVE, address) > TypeError: argument must be an int, or have a fileno() method. > > > > On Sunday, July 24, 2022 at 3:42:56 PM UTC-6 Jan Bennett wrote: > >> Thank you.
