IsLogin:/ $ sudo adduser weewx dailout adduser: The group `dailout' does not exist.
That's a typo. It is "dialout" not "dailout" but this command is incorrect anyway. You probably want to "sudo usermod -aG dialout weewx" to add the weewx user to the dialout group in order to be able to access the hardware. re: your question about python versions, you probably have an old os with legacy python v2 installed. Try "python3 -V" and I suspect it will report what you're expecting. Add weewx to the dialout group and see if it works now....
