re: "AttributeError: tuype object 'ImageDraw' has no attribute 'textsize'"

[Sam Finn]

Hi - 

I'm hoping someone can help me get my weewx install working again.

Some time ago (last April) weewx stopped updating my web page. [Many things have been going on and I am only now and able to get to this.] There might have been a Mac OS update at that time; however, I simply don't know. The weewx.log file is showing the error message "AttributeError: tuype object 'ImageDraw' has no attribute 'textsize'".

I've updated my weewx installation to 4.9.1 and am using the vanilla weewx.conf file with the minimum system (Vantage) configuration: i.e., no special skins, etc. The weewx.log file shows the same error.

To my untrained eye I've checked that my python3 installation is complete, at least as far as packages specified in the docs go.

Attached are

* the section of the weewx.log file for the most recent weewx run;

* the [Station] section of the weewx.conf file

I'm running Vantage Vue h/w (2018) with an old-style weatherlink console connected to my desktop over ethernet via a Davis datalogger (also 2018 vintage).

Thanks much for any help/guidance.

This is a known problem caused by a change in Pillow, the imaging library used by WeeWX.

If you're on a Mac, you probably installed Pillow using pip. See what version of Pillow you have by using these two methods.

python3 -m pip list -v

python3 -c "import PIL;print(PIL.__version__)"

If it's 10.0, then this is the problem. The solution is to downgrade your copy:

python3 -m pip install Pillow==9.5.0

If it's earlier than 10.0, then it's some other problem.

Hi Tom - 

Thanks much! I was running w/Pillow 10.0. I backed-off to 9.5.0 but am not getting a different error:

    self.draw.draw_rectangle(xy, fill, 1)

Are there further suggestions? 

Again, thanks!

Oops. Foiled by Issue #862!

Try an even earlier version of Pillow. Say, 9.4.0.

Thanks again. Backing-off to 9.4.0, and using the modified sqlite.py to take care of the missing RADIAN function, has apparently done the trick!

Best -

I solved installing the new version of genplot.py from weewx files that are in the developing directory.

Some software changes and now is up and running again!

I'm just setting up WeeWx on an inovato Quadra with an Acu-Rite weather station (label says Model 01536

 but lsusb says Chaney Instrument Model 01036 weather sensor).

Anyhow, I'm getting looped data and no chart or graph.

Where would I find the development version of genplot.py - I don't seem to be able to locate it in the installed files.

Thanks!

kd4e, I'm not sure why you put your post under this thread. Are you getting this error? If so, the current version of WeeWX, v4.10.2, as well as the beta version of v5.0, have the fix. 

If this is not your problem, you should really start a new thread.

I'm not sure why you need genplot.py, but you will find it at /usr/share/weewx/weeplot/genplot.py.

Cool, thanks! Should a file like that have been auto-generated during install or setup? I don't find one. There is a weeplot in /usr/share/weewx
