I note that Debian (and presumably downstream) packaging for the
*python* development and run-time environments changed in v12
(Bookworm). The package *python3-pip*
Easy. Everything goes inside the venv. Activate your venv (likely
'source /home/pi/weewx-venv/bin/activate') then install and configure the
MQTTSubscribe extension and also install its prerequisite module paho-mqtt
with pip just like you did for v4. Other than the one added step to
activate
Python virtual environments are used to isolate Python runtimes. So, if you
want access to an extension or a Python module from within a runtime then,
yes, you need to activate the environment, then do the install into it.
It's worth creating a throwaway virtual environment then examining it. It's
Thanks, Tom, I’m learning my way into weewx 5.0. As I understand, weewx
updates, python updates, and additions such as extensions need to be done
while logged into venv. Everything else indtalled should be from the normal
login.
Weewx is a great system and I appreciate all the work you and many
Vince,
I've been using Node-Red to send MQTT data from several other sensors to
weewx 4.10.2 on Ubuntu (VP2)--all working ok. I'm now trying to setup the
same install on an RPI5 which is running weewx 5.0. Being unfamiliar with
venv, I'm trying to understand what goes inside and outside of the v
What are you actually trying to do with node-red ? Not seeing what it has
to do with weewx. Are you trying to use it to read other sensors or
something like that ?

A virtual environment is just a way of isolating a Python-based runtime.
The environment locks down which instance of the Python interpreter will be
used, plus that interpreter gets its own copy of any installed Python
modules.
Node Red uses the node interpreter, not the Python interpreter. You in
I have successfully set up 5.0 on a test RPI5 connected to a second VP2
console. My main system, weewx 4.10.2, has been running on Ubuntu for over
10 years.
I’m not at all familiar with the venv setup and how to use it with respect
to other programs installed on the RPI5. My question:
