Hi,

New to weewx and trying to get 2 stations running, followed the multi station instructions and got the first station running, a rainwise unit. The second unit I'm using the rmyro.py driver and I'm having some issues... I'm using a 26800 translator reconfigured to mimic output like a response one unit but I'm not even getting that far..

when starting the first time I got

weewx-rm_young[121466] CRITICAL __main__: **** Missing weewx-m_young[121466] CRITICAL __main__: **** Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)? (rmyro.py, line 261)

so I added parentheses to the print lines and got past that but now it errors out at

Caught unrecoverable exception:
weewx-rm_young[121534] CRITICAL __main__: **** multiple exception types must be parenthesized (rmyro.py, line 331)

I am not a programmer and I am afraid I can't wing this one... the owner of the driver on github has archived it to read -only so I cant open an issue, anyone out there that could fix the code in the driver? Thanks Kevin

It appears that the driver has not been ported to Python 3. You will either have to run it using Python 2.7, or do the port.

Tom,

It seems python2.7 is not available as a package for debian bookworm and getting everything together to make my own is not desirable , best practice and long term fix is to get it ported. Pylint has a fit looking at the code so it seems my best bet will be to continue looking for someone that can port it... Thanks Kevin

As a final note for maybe someone else in the same situation, in the Debian packages is a 2to3 python converter, and it seems to work just fine as the errors are gone, data is now being received and html webpage created. Kevin
