I have a weewx installation running ust fine under an ancient DietPi OS.  So ancient that I can't update the OS.  So I have configured up a new card with PiOS. 

I went through the apt install for weewx and found it was all a bit more different than I was happy with ....

Is there any way I can get a weewx 3.1.0 to install?  

I sort of wondered about a brutal approach of cloning the home/weewx folder (which is my weewx root) and the init.d/weewx entry ....  showing my ignorance :-)

I can downgrade the python3 to python2 if that is necessary ....

Cheers IB

What you are probably not so happy with is the new (since 4.7) Seasons skin produced by its standard files.
What you can do is e.g.
- create a new directory under /etc/weewx/skins (or /home/weewx/skins when you used setup.py)
with the name Seasons-Old (sudo mkdir /home/weewx/skins/Seasons-Old ) and copy all your files from your old installation
(/home/weewx/skins/Seasons) into that directory.
- by changing the skin name entry in weewx.conf  in the [StdReport] [[SeasonsReport]] stanza from
skin = Seasons to skin = Seasons-Old (then restart weewx), you should get your old view back again

if that is what you are looking for

You will need V4.0 to run under Python 3, so if you want to run v3.1, you will need a copy of Python 2.7

Older versions of WeeWX can be found here: http://weewx.com/downloads/released_versions/
