Python module for reading/writing GRIB files
Project description
Python module for reading and writing GRIB files (edition 1 and edition 2).
GRIB is the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standard file format for the exchange of weather data.
Provides a interfaces for the ECWMF GRIB_API C library and the NCEP grib2 C library, including command line utilities for listing (grib_list) and repacking (grib_repack) GRIB files.
Quickstart:
-
Clone the github repository, or download a source release from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygrib.
-
Copy setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg, open in text editor, follow instructions in comments for editing. If you are using the old grib_api library instead of the new eccodes library, be sure to uncomment the last line setup.cfg.
-
Run 'python setup.py build'
-
Run 'python setup.py install' (with sudo if necessary)
-
Run 'python test.py' to test your pygrib installation.
