The new version of the phyton script can no longer be started.

Various errors occur from....

The solution was...

to change unit_of_measurement="°C" to unit_of_measurement="°C".

Strange, probably my workflow is broken somewhere as it works for me but before committing to github I copy paste from notepad to vs code... Will fix it as soon as possible

[adorobis]

It is even more strange, I've just taken the same file and it still works in my system. I have even now downloaded the file from github and it still works ok. How did you get the new version?

[euDominic]

I copied it from the RAW view and pasted it into my .py file.

src/ca350.py

So this is the problem. You are loosing the utf-8 encoding when doing that. Rather download the file and store where needed. If you do copy/paste of the content make sure the file is in proper encoding - which editor are you using?

[euDominic]

Oh dear, yes, that makes sense. I used the winscp editor.

I think the "problem" can be closed.

as always, the error is in front of the monitor 😂.

[adorobis]

Cool, I've been there before...
