I am trying to make weewx work with a Rainwise IP-100. I have tried several different ways using the weewx-ip100 driver created by Matthew Wall on GitHub. I first tried following the readme file that was part of the IP100 driver package, but it didn’t take me long to discover that the commands used there were based on a much older version of weewx than the version 5.1 I installed.
I next tried the instructions provided in the weewx 5.1 documentation rather than those that accompanied the driver package. I first installed weewx 5.1 and assumed that it did install correctly as I was able to bring up a web page based on the simulator using a PC. I next installed the IP100 driver using:
weectl extension install weewx-ip100-master.zip
and confirmed it was installed using the command:
weectl extension list
which resulted in:
ip100 0.4 Capture weather data from Rainwise IP-100
I then tried to link them using the command:
weectl station reconfigure --no-prompt --driver=user.ip100
and it resulted in the following:
Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
Processing configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)
The only line that I thought I could address was the last line which seemed to be the reason for the early exit. Based on that, I edited the "/etc/weewx/bin/user/ip100.py” file to add the parentheses on line 84. I then ran it again only to find a similar error further down. I didn’t keep count, but I suspect there were about a dozen such errors in all. As I reached the end of the file, I was hopeful for success, but after the last error about parentheses was fixed, I had the following last lines
File "/etc/weewx/bin/user/ip100.py", line 9, in <module> Import urllib2
ModulesNotFoundError: No module named ‘urllib2’
I figured I reached a dead end at that point since my programming skills are limited to a working occasionally with bash scripts.
I next tried version python-weewx_4.0.0-1_all.deb, the latest standard release, and version weewx_3.6.0-1_all.deb, the release from about the same time the driver was released, and they both resulted in failure with messages like those below from the oldest version.
apt install /home/user/weewx_3.6.0-1_all.deb

I recently acquired the IP-100 when there were no suggestions made in response to a post I made here on how to make my older CC-2000 work with weewx several months ago. I made my decision on the IP-100 based on the fact there was a IP-100 driver available for weewx, so I am hoping there is something I am doing wrong, or at least someone will have a suggestion on how to modify what I am doing to make the IP-100 work with one of the versions, hopefully 5.1. Otherwise I am now going to have two devices that won’t work with weewx.
