Trying to add GW1000 driver and failing with no module named six

[uktricky]

Hi, using your v5 Dockerfile to build a new version of WeeWx which works OK

Everything was up and running with the simulator engine but I've now tried to add the GW1000 I've downloaded the gw1000.py and stored this in my docker directory

My run command:

docker run \
-d \
-e TZ='Europe/London' \
-v /home/tricky/docker/weewx/weewx.conf:/home/weewx/weewx-data/weewx.conf \
-v /home/tricky/docker/weewx/db:/home/weewx/weewx-data/archive \
-v /home/tricky/docker/webserver/:/home/weewx/weewx-data/public_html/ \
-v /home/tricky/docker/weewx/usrbin/gw1000.py:/home/weewx/weewx-data/bin/user/gw1000.py \
--name weewx \
tricky-weewx:latest

My logs show:

In my weewx.conf (which is what I have in my non-docker version of weewx which is about 4 years old now):

    station_type = GW1000

[GW1000]
    # This section is for the Ecowitt Gateway driver.

    # How often to poll the API, default is every 20 seconds:
    poll_interval = 20

    # The driver to use:
    driver = user.gw1000
    ip_address = 10.1.2.3
    port = 45000

Requires the library installed - Amended the Dockerfile to include:

RUN apt-get update \
    &&  apt-get install wget unzip python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv tzdata rsync openssh-client openssl git libffi-dev python3-setuptools libjpeg-dev **python3-six** -y \
    &&  addgroup weewx \
    && useradd -m -g weewx weewx \

and also

    && python3 -m pip install paho-mqtt \
    **&& python3 -m pip install six \**
    # If your hardware uses a serial port
    && python3 -m pip install pyserial \

(not Tom but....) it is reasonable to assume that any docker setup will sometimes require additions if you choose to add things to it, especially drivers. Not a bug re: this repo in my opinion.
