Python module for reading/writing GRIB files
Project description
Provides a high-level interface to the ECWMF ECCODES C library for reading GRIB files. There are limited capabilities for writing GRIB files.
Quickstart
The easiest way to get everything installed is to use the conda:
conda install -c conda-forge pygrib
If you don't use conda, be sure you have the required dependencies installed first. Then, install cftime with pip:
ECCODES_DIR=path/to/eccodes pip install pygrib
where $ECCODES_DIR
is the path to the directory containing include/grib_api.h
and lib/libeccodes.so
. If ECCODES_DIR
is not specified, a few common locations
such as $CONDA_PREFIX,/usr,/usr/local,/opt/local
will be searched..
Alternately, clone the github repo and run python setup.py install
(after setting $ECCCODES_DIR
).
Run python test.py
from the source directory to test your pygrib installation.
