Bad marshal data

[AsgeirK]

My Weewx suddenly stopped reporting.  When trying to run from command prompt, I get:

pi@raspberrypi /home/weewx $ ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./bin/weewxd", line 18, in <module>

    import weewx.wxengine

  File "/home/weewx/bin/weewx/wxengine.py", line 32, in <module>

    import weewx.restful

  File "/home/weewx/bin/weewx/restful.py", line 15, in <module>

    import httplib

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 79, in <module>

    import mimetools

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/mimetools.py", line 11, in <module>

    import rfc822

ValueError: bad marshal data (string ref out of range)

Any ideas?

I'm using a WMR200.

Man, that's an error I've never seen before. Nor does Googling it shed any light. Can you reproduce it from the command line? Try this:

$ python

>>> import httplib

If that gives the same exception, it would suggest that something went awry with your Python environment.

Yes, got the same error.  I guess I should try to reinstall something..

pi@raspberrypi /home/weewx $ python

Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan 13 2013, 11:20:46)

[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import httplib

Looks that way. Either re-install Python, or the whole OS.

I found a few references ala this one that say it means a .pyc file is corrupt someplace

If that's the case, then deleting all the .pyc files, then running weewx as root, will regenerate them and fix the problem.
