weewx--4.0.0b16: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Gert Andersen]

Hi

Currently I'm running weewx 3.9.2 and mqtt on a Raspberry system  and I'm trying to setup a test system for weewx 4 with mqtt.

I have followed the weewx 4 installation instructions and used this link https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/mqtt for installing mqtt. I have been searching to see if mqtt should be installed differently using weewx 4(Python 3), but can't find any advises. 

Starting weewx gives this error:

It looks like the mqtt extension has not been ported to Python 3. 

You'll have to talk to the extension author about that.

There is a newer version on Github, looks like it has been fixed for python 3 https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt

[Gert Andersen]

Hi

Thanks a lot. I'll try the new version

Gert

[Gert Andersen]

Hi

Downloaded the version as recommended, https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt, it is version 0.20

Still problems, so Imight have missed something.

Run the extension through "2to3 -w" and it will convert it to a python3-compatible content.  Worked fine here for me on version 0.18 of that extension.

[Gert Andersen]

Hi

Thanks for your help. I have just used the online 2to3 converter and just getting a new error:

You're not working off the latest version on github it seems

The top of the old file has a line saying simply "import queue".

The top of the new version has python3 and python2 supported

Download the current file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt/master/bin/user/mqtt.py and install it in place of your messed up one.  It should work.

[Gert Andersen]

Hi Vince 

Thanks for looking.

I have downloaded mqtt.py from the link you mentioned and installed it. Still syntax error at line 215

If you look at line 215, you have:

except KeyError, e:

and I think it should be

except KeyError as e:

under Python 3

Even if I change that line, I just get another error.

So, I might do something wrong, but I can't see what. If you got this working, you must have done something differently

Gert

[Thomas Keffer]

He's right. The extension has not been completely ported over to Python 3.

Try this version.

[mwall]

the weewx-mqtt extension has been updated to version 0.21:

https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt

comments in the code illustrate how to use most of the options:

https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt/blob/master/bin/user/mqtt.py

this includes fixes for:

* python3 compatibility

* weewx4 compatibility

* qos option

thanks to tsoodla, Stormwind99, tkeffer, and others.
