I just tried to upgrade WeeWX and during the prereqs, this error was shown and the upgrade failed.
See pip-error.txt attached

It would be nice to see the context. What command did you use? Where did you run it from?

One possibility: did you run pip from /home/wx? If so, perhaps pip saw setup.cfg and tried to honor it. Again, we need the context to diagnose.

Sorry, here's the full session start to finish.
It should provide the needed info.
Yes, it was run from /home/wx

But this seems to be a pip issue.

Meantime, no upgrade. Not that's it is needed, just wanting to stay current with the alphas for testing.

Running from a different directory does not change the results.

Can you check what's in /home/wx/bin?

ls -l /home/wx/bin

Nothing.
[wx@wx-tab ~]$ ls -l /home/wx/bin
ls: cannot access '/home/wx/bin': No such file or directory
[wx@wx-tab ~]$

Well, you've got me stumped! I assume you tried upgrading pip?

I did.
I'll spin up a new container tomorrow and see if I can reproduce this.
