Re: [weewx-user] extension installer sleight of hand question

Thanks for the clarification. I think we can live with the workaround (which works fine). On Wednesday, January 27, 2021 at 2:13:30 PM UTC-8 Tom Keffer wrote: > It's not a bug, it's a limitation with ConfigObj. > > In ConfigObj, all comments belong to the option or section below them. If > you

Re: [weewx-user] extension installer sleight of hand question

It's not a bug, it's a limitation with ConfigObj. In ConfigObj, all comments belong to the option or section below them. If you don't have anything below, there is no place for ConfigObj to put the comment and it is ignored. Usually one can find creative ways around the problem. For example, this

Re: [weewx-user] extension installer sleight of hand question

I guess I'm not understanding this. If you create a config section for the installer, it will be faithfully reproduced as it gets injected into weewx.conf, including any comments. As an example, take a look at install.py for weewx-
