Belchertown issue

[Jamie Stephens]

I did a fresh install and got stumped on why I can't get Belchertown skin to work. I get the below error, which seems to point to the issue of the Python local change. but I'm running 3.14 

downloaded the skin via github  here

https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/releases/tag/weewx-belchertown-1.3.1

AttributeError: module 'locale' has no attribute 'format'. Did you mean: '_format'?
Done.

in python >= 3.12 locale’s locale.format() function, deprecated in Python 3.7, has been removed: use locale.format_string() instead. so in belchertown.py you need to replace all locale.format()s with locale.format_string()s

see https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#locale

This was fixed in a PR last summer, but there does not seem to have been a release since then.

Try installing from HEAD:

weectl extension install https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Thanks. I'll try that. I found another thread on the issue, and it read like  the user downloaded the release, and it worked.
