Putting back weewx in service after moving to new location

[Manuel G]

Hello,

I'm trying to put my weather station back in service after moving to a new location.

My setup is the following:

weather station: Vantage Pro 2 with network module (WeatherLinkIP)

Server: Debian 10.5

Weewx installation based on documentation for Debian 9 initially and revised for debian 10. Version is 4.1.1

My understanding is that this is related to the forecast but I'm not fluent in Python yet.

The log shows the following:

Your copy of the forecast extension has not been ported to Python 3. Either use Python 2, or upgrade the extension.

NB: there are other issues with the forecast extension as well. While we're waiting for the author to get to them, in the meanwhile, there are a few forked versions floating around that may work better.

Thanks Tom, much appreciated.

All working with extension removed, will look to upgrade that extension.
