pupygrib 0.9.0

Pupygrib
Pupygrib (pronounced puppy grib and short for PUre PYthon GRIB) is a
light-weight pure Python GRIB reader. It's purpose is to extract data
from GRIB files with as little effort as possible. The user can then
freely choose how to further process the data (read: pupygrib will
not help you).
Features
This project is in the alpha phase, which means that many planned
features are missing and implemented features are not well tested. It
also means that the API may change in future version. The implemented
features are:

Iterate over and extract the raw fields from GRIB edition 1 messages
in a file.
Extract simply packed grid-point data values from GRIB edition 1
messages.
Extract the coordinates for these values if they are on a
latitude/longitude grid.

The planned features are:

Be able to easily identify (filter) the messages.
Be able to extract the data values for other packings.
Be able to extract the coordinates of other grid types.
Support for GRIB edition 2.

Requirements

Python 3.7 or later (3.7-3.9 are tested).
3.8 or later is recommended for the better typing support.
Numpy 1.15-1.21 are tested with compatible
Python versions.

Installation
$ pip install pupygrib

Usage
To use pupygrib, you will need a good understanding of the GRIB
format, especially since table lookups are not yet implemented. ECMWF
provides an overview of GRIB
edition 1
and
edition 2
that can be used as references.
Iterate over the messages in a GRIB file and extract the time,
coordinates and values:
>>> import pupygrib
>>> with open('tests/data/regular_latlon_surface.grib1', 'rb') as stream:
... for i, msg in enumerate(pupygrib.read(stream), 1):
... lons, lats = msg.get_coordinates()
... time = msg.get_time()
... values = msg.get_values()
... print("Message {}: {} {:.3f} {}".format(i, time, values.mean(), lons.shape))
...
Message 1: 2008-02-06 12:00:00 291.585 (31, 16)

Access a section of a GRIB message and print its fields:
>>> with open('tests/data/regular_latlon_surface.grib1', 'rb') as stream:
... msg, = pupygrib.read(stream)
>>> sorted(msg.is_.fieldnames) # fieldnames is a set, so we can't trust the order
['editionNumber', 'identifier', 'totalLength']
>>> msg[0].totalLength
1100
>>> msg.bitmap is None # the bit-map section is not included in this message
True

Development
Pull requests (against the develop branch) are most welcome! I do
ask that you add test cases and update the documentation (this README
for now) for any new features. Run the code through the
auto-formatters black and isort and make sure that all checks
(coding style, static type check, unit tests, and the
manifest) pass without any warnings or errors. The
easiest way to do this is to install the requirements in
requirements/dev.txt and run nox:
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
$ nox

Change log
0.9.0

Fix reading bitmaps were numberOfUnusedBitsAtEndOfSection3 is zero (!3).
Use a declarative setuptools configuration. This requires
setuptools >= 42.

0.8.0

Drop support for Python 3.6.
Add official support for numpy 1.20 and 1.21.
Add basic type annotations for numpy's data structures.
Use PEP 585 and 604 in the type annotations.

0.7.0

Add type annotations to the source code.
Revise the Message classes to better support typing. The sections
of a GRIB message are now rather accessed by name than by index.
Add a get_time() method to the message classes.
Add official support for Python 3.9.

0.6.1

Fix unpacking messages with an odd number of 12-bit values.
