TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'timeout'

[Robert Atkin]

Hello Jim and all

I've been using pywws on my Raspberry Pi with a Maplin N96FY since September 2013. On Tuesday I was notified by Weather Underground that my station had stopped reporting. I was getting IOError: pywws.device_cython_hidapi.USBDevice.write_data failed errors.

Since then I've updated the software and firmware. Reset the weather station control box batteries. Tried powered USB hub. Installed the latest pywws. Installed pyusb(?).

I now get:

I've also upgraded python-twitter.

I've tried the SD card in a different Raspberry Pi. I've tried the Weather Station plugged into a Macbook and it reported fine into a different app.

Any help please for what to try next.

Thanks

Good, it's using pyusb.

You should edit weather.ini and change the twitter configuration. See
http://pywws.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/twitter.html#add-twitter-updates-to-your-hourly-tasks

What version have you upgraded to? It needs to be at least version 2.1.
Use 'pip list' to see what you've got installed.

Thanks Jim

I've amended the twitter configuration inn weather.ini

I also found I had to change a lot of templates from Wind: #wind_dir "%s, " "" "wind_dir_text[x]"# to Wind: #wind_dir "%s, " "" "winddir_text(x)"#

I missed the change of [] to () initially.

I had python-twitter 1.3.1

I upgraded using sudo pip install python-twitter==2.2 

Incidentally pip list didn't work, but pip freeze did.

I found a few more templates to amend.

But then... success!!

It's lost two days of data because of taking the batteries out. But in three years of recording that's not bad.

Thanks for your help.

Robert
