## Introduction
NOAA/NWS Meteorological Development Lab ([MDL](https://www.weather.gov/mdl/)) produces model output statistics (MOS) for a variety of NOAA/NCEP Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. MOS is produced via MDL’s in-house MOS-2000 (MOS2K) Fortran-based software system. MOS2K uses a GRIB-like binary data format called TDLPACK. pytdlpack is a Python interface to reading and writing TDLPACK files. A brief introduction to TDLPACK files and data format can be found [here](TDLPACK.md).
## Motivation
Provide a Python interface for reading and writing TDLPACK files.
## Requirements * Python 3.6+ * NumPy 1.12+ * GNU or Intel Fortran compiler
## Installation
`shell pip3 install pytdlpack `
### Build and Install from Source
`shell python3 setup.py build_ext --fcompiler=[gnu95|intelem] build python3 setup.py install [--user |--prefix=PREFIX] ` ## Modules
The pytdlpack package contains 2 modules. See the docstrings for usage of each module
### pytdlpack
`python import pytdlpack `
### TdlpackIO
`python import TdlpackIO ` IMPORTANT: `TdlpackIO` is experimental and it usage and functionality could change with future releases. TdlpackIO is a pure python implementation for reading TDLPACK “sequential” files (i.e. Fortran variable-length record binary files). Currently, it does not read TDLPACK random-access files and it may never have that capability. It requires `pytdlpack` for unpacking records.
