Project description

Units of measure as defined by the Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata conventions.
v2.1.5
branch - not to be merged back as-is
This branch enforces legacy behaviour for uses of cftime.num2date()
. master
branch already wraps the latest cftime.num2date()
default behaviour, which now returns a cftime.datetime
object instead of a datetime.datetime
; all future releases should include this as the default behaviour.
