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 (you can modify the contents of an existing file, but you can't create one from scratch). See the online docs for example usage.
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 ECCODES library installed first. Then you can install pygrib 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.
