Dears,

Currently, i'm working on a Debian server where are running about 7 instances of weewx (7 Davis Vantage meteo stations, six of them are located in Italy and the last one in Costa Rica).
I use as a driver the wlink - weewx driver that gets data from the weatherlink web site.
Now, I would upgrade my old weewx installation (Python 2.7) with a new weewx version (with Python 3.x).
Is still possible to use the vlink driver with Python 3?
I found the "0.14" as last version.

Thank you in advance,

Sofia

That's quite the setup you have there!

There are several wlink drivers. Which one are you using?

Thank you for your promptly reply.

I'm using the WLink driver 0.14 (wlink.py 1783 2018-01-29 by mwall), but mine is for Python 2.7 (I see some modules in the code, such as the urllib2 that is for Python2).
The stations are Vantage Vue Pro equipped with the WeatherLinkIp driver.
 
I read about the WLL Driver (weatherlinklive-driver-weewx) but i don't have the  WeatherLinkLive module in my stations, so I don't know if it could be a good choice for me.

Is there a version of the WLink driver compliant with Python3? It's very smart, because it requires only few info for the connection (Mac address of the station and Weatherlink pwd).

I tried to do a self translation of the wlink.py from Python2 to 3, but I did a mess because I'm not a programmer.

I am not aware of a Python 3 version of that extension. Matthew is unavailable until the end of the month. I will try and take a look at it sometime this week.

Thank you very much, and thanks also for the weewx project that is great.
Have a nice day,

Sofia
