faq about weewx
See the top-level Weewx Home Page description
Other than a few system startup configuration files, WeeWX is written in pure python, with python3 preferred and python2 still supported as of this writing. Given that python2 is past end-of-life, it can be expected that python2 compatibility will be dropped in some future version of WeeWX.
The best description is in the Introduction section of the Customization Guide.
- drivers - collect data from various primary sources
- extensions - add capabilities to a WeeWX installation
- services - collect and emit data
- skins - contain the templates for generating report
- uploaders - transfer data to online services
You may have 'one' driver per weewx installation, but multiple extensions/services/skins/uploaders per installation.
WeeWX relies on the python PIL image libraries and the Cheetah templating engine, and either sqlite3 or mysql/mariadb for its database. You may optionally add pyephem to get more accurate astronomical data (sunrise/sunset, phase of the moon etc.) in your reports
