column create/rename error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'user'"

[neutrino]

Hello everyone,

I try to modify my existing database after upgrading to v5.

Get these errors:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'user'

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Matthew has just announced a pip release of rc2, which probably fixes the user module path problem in weectl.

[Steeple Ian]

Apologies for the half-response. I meant to add that 5.0.0rc2 solves this problem for me.

Thanks for your information, unfortunately upgading to  weewx-5.0.0rc2 did not solve this problem for me.

If I can help debugging drop me a line

Best regards

Mr Neutrino: could you set debug=1, try again, then post the actual log? It will show more information than just the stack trace.

[neutrino]

Thanks, did it already, even within PyCharm debug, but could not find the source of the problem. I spent a hour to find what config entry caused the problem with my years old installation, but was not successful.

I finally got it solved by using a freshly created weewx.conf (besides my orginal config), after all renaming/adding/dropping of columns I switched back.

Many thanks for you help, and

Happy New Year

to everyone.

Glad you got it working, but it would be nice to know what the original problem was...
