Thanks Gary, I am using the latest Raspberry Pi OS, Python 2.7.16 and Weewx 4.4.0.
The driver that I am unable to install is for a BC Robotics HAT that interface various weather instrument to WeeWX and can be found here: https://github.com/David-Enst/WeeWX-BCRobotics I am able to start weewx using the simulator option. I have tried to install the BC Robotic driver using the "wee_extension --install BCRobotics.zip" command found in the read.me instructions. Once I execute this command I do see a response which appears to be successful, however when I execute the "wee_config --reconfigure" command which give me configuration options for various weather hardware the BC Robotic hardware is not available as an option...How do I invoke the BC Robotic driver?
