Hi everyone, I'm running weewx v5.1.0 and recently installed the windy extension from https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-windy but I'm getting a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' error message when weewx attempts to start. I've logged an issue in the github for this project but it appears that the extension might be stale since there hasn't been an update for 5 years. Would anyone know of a workaround I could use to get this extension working or is there an alternative extension I could use for windy.com?
Thanks, John --- syslog: 2025-10-13T22:45:28.785720+00:00 weewx weewxd[2702]: INFO user.interceptor: shutting down server thread 2025-10-13T22:45:29.218019+00:00 weewx weewxd[2702]: CRITICAL __main__:
