aviconv-met 0.3.0

Bidirectional METAR/SPECI ↔ TAF ↔ SIGMET/AIRMET ↔ VAA/TCA ↔ IWXXM 3.0 converter.

aviconv-met

Bidirectional METAR / SPECI ↔ TAF ↔ SIGMET / AIRMET ↔ VAA / TCA ↔ IWXXM 3.0 converter — part of the aviconv monorepo.

pip install aviconv-met

ICAO mandated IWXXM (XML weather) for OPMET exchange in November 2020. Existing toolchains for it are vendor-locked or one-way. aviconv-met is the pip-installable, MIT-licensed, round-trip alternative.

Public surface

from aviconv_met import (
    Metar, Taf, Sigmet, Airmet, Vaa, Tca,
    parse_metar, format_metar,
    parse_taf, format_taf,
    parse_sigmet, format_sigmet,
    parse_advisory, format_advisory,
)
from aviconv_met.iwxxm import to_iwxxm, from_iwxxm

Frozen pydantic-v2 models for every report type, byte-stable text round-trip for all six message types, and XSD-validated IWXXM 3.0 emission with field-level round-trip on inbound IWXXM.

CLI

Mounted on the umbrella aviconv binary (provided by aviconv-core):

aviconv met parse <file>           # text → JSON
aviconv met format <file>          # JSON → text
aviconv met to-iwxxm <file>        # text → IWXXM 3.0 XML
aviconv met from-iwxxm <file>      # IWXXM XML → JSON or text
aviconv met validate <file>        # run validators

Each subcommand reads from - for stdin and writes stdout unless -o PATH. Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 parse error, 2 validation error, 3 schema error.

Round-trip semantics

• Text round-trip (METAR/TAF/SIGMET/AIRMET/VAA/TCA): byte-stable — format_*(parse_*(text)) == text whenever the model came from parse_*.
• IWXXM round-trip: field-level — from_iwxxm(to_iwxxm(report)) == report. GML IDs and namespace prefix choices are intentionally not preserved.
