error processing hourly

[t3amj3ff]

Hello

My weather stations been running for years but I've been slack and haven't checked it recently. Turns out the pi crashed in December but had been giving errors for a few weeks before that. Hourly processing has stopped working and I can't figure out why.

pi@weatherpi2:~/weather $ pywws-hourly -v data

    raise ValueError('malformed node or string: ' + repr(node))
ValueError: malformed node or string: <_ast.Call object at 0xb4adec10>

I thought it might be a corrupt data file but they look ok, I tried removing the one for the day it stopped processing and the one after but no luck.

Any ideas?

Your weather.ini appears to have errors in one of the 'services' items.

Thanks, it was. The file doesn't look any different but has obviously picked up a corruption somewhere. I retyped it and it's working again.
