a python interface around the ECMWF-BUFR library.
Project description
a python interface around the Fortran90 ECMWF-BUFR library constructed using the f2py interface generation tool. The equivalent subroutines to the ones in the ECMWF-BUFR library are made available to python, but also a set of wrapper routines/classes is implemented to create also a more object-oriented/pythonic interface. Building the interface is still a bit rough, and may require some editing of the setup.cfg file to choose the correct fortran and c-compiler. Alternatively some dedicated commandline options have been added to the setup.py script to allow changing these settings. Run ‘setup.py build –help’ to get a list of the currently available build options.
