I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of ECMWF `cfgrib`, a
Python interface to map GRIB files to the NetCDF Common Data Model
following the CF Conventions using ECMWF ecCodes for decoding.
Included in the package is a GRIB driver for xarray.
https://pypi.org/project/cfgrib/0.9.0
Features with development status **Beta**:
- read-only GRIB driver for xarray,
- support reading most GRIB 1 and 2 files,
- support all modern versions of Python 3.7, 3.6, 3.5 and 2.7, plus
PyPy and PyPy3,
- support most Linux distributions and MacOS,
- only system dependency is the ecCodes C-library (not the
Python2-only module),
- no install time build (binds with CFFI ABI mode),
- read the data lazily and efficiently in terms of both memory usage
and disk access.
The main repository is hosted on GitHub, testing, bug report and
contributions are highly welcomed and appreciated.
