Hi All,
New user to the group and app. I've been a longtime user of wview but it is time to move on. My website uses the Saratoga Weather PHP templates. I saw the weewx-wd skin extension as a possible solution to work with the Saratoga Weather-Display plugin.

I'm running WeeWX 4.0 and Python 3.7.3 on a clean Debian Buster install on a Netbook. For now I'm using the rtldavis driver with an RTLSDR dongle to receive data from wireless Vantage Pro 2 until I'm ready to swap over to the Wireless Weather Envoy and WeatherLink USB connected to the wview laptop.

You can see the errors when I started the service after installing the weewx-wd extension.

First attempt:

I found this guy made an update to weewxwd3.py to fix some of the errors. I copied the weewxwd3.py file over the existing one previously installed. Made it further all the way to the reportengine before stopping.

Second attempt:

Anyone got any ideas on how to proceed to find the potential problem? Any other logs or data required to troubleshoot?

Thanks,
David

I have it on good authority that guy has WeeWX-WD working under WeeWX 4/python 2 and 3 but he just needs to tidy up a few things and package the code up as an extension. I have given him a kick in the pants.

Afraid its going to be a case of waiting, should not be too many days.

Hi Gary,
Good to hear. Thanks for the update!

When I ran the install I had no idea 4.0 was brand new. I will be patient.
