CF Python
=========
The cf python package implements the CF data model for the reading,
writing and processing of data and metadata.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Home page
=========
[**cf-python**](http://cfpython.bitbucket.org)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation
=============
* [**Online documentation for the latest stable
release**](http://cfpython.bitbucket.org/docs/latest/ "cf-python
documentation")
* Online documentation for previous releases: [**cf-python documention
archive**](http://cfpython.bitbucket.org/docs/archive.html)
* Offline documention for the installed version may be found by
pointing a browser to ``docs/build/index.html``.
* [**Change log**](https://bitbucket.org/cfpython/cf-python/src/master/Changelog.md)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dependencies
============
* **Required:** A
[**GNU/Linux**](http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html) or [**Mac
OS**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS) operating system.
* **Required:** A [**python**](http://www.python.org) version from 2.6 up
to, but not including, 3.0.
* **Required:** The [**python psutil
package**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil) at version 0.6.0 or
newer (the latest version is recommended).
* **Required:** The [**python numpy
package**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy) at version 1.7 or
newer.
* **Required:** The [**python matplotlib
package**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/matplotlib) at version 1.4.2
or newer.
* **Required:** The [**python netCDF4
package**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/netCDF4) at version 1.1.1 or
newer, **but not version 1.2**. This package requires the
[**netCDF**](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf),
[**HDF5**](http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5) and
[**zlib**](ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4)
libraries.
* **Required:** The [**UNIDATA Udunits-2
library**](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits). This is a
C library which provides support for units of physical
quantities. If The Udunits-2 shared library file
(``libudunits2.so.0`` on GNU/Linux or ``libudunits2.0.dylibfile`` on
Mac OS) is in a non-standard location then its path should be added
to the ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable.
* **Optional:** For regridding to work, the [**ESMF
package**](https://www.earthsystemcog.org/projects/esmf) at version
7.0.0 or newer is required. If this package is not installed then
regridding will not work, but all other cf-python functionality will
be unaffected. ESMF may be installed via
[**conda**](http://conda.pydata.org/docs) (see below) or from source
(see the file [**ESMF.md**](ESMF.md) for instructions).
* **Optional:** The [**cf-plot
package**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cf-plot) at version 1.9.10
or newer provides metadata-aware visualisation for cf-python
fields. This is not a dependency for cf-python.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
============
* To install version 1.2.1 by [**conda**](http://conda.pydata.org/docs):
conda install -c ncas -c scitools cf-python cf-plot
conda install -c nesii esmpy
These two commands will install cf-python, all of its required
dependencies and the two optional packages cf-plot (for
visualisation) and ESMF (for regridding). To install cf-python and
all of its required dependencies alone:
conda install -c ncas -c scitools cf-python
To update cf-python, cf-plot and ESMF to the latest versions::
conda update -c ncas -c scitools cf-python cf-plot
conda update -c nesii esmpy
* To install the **latest** version from
[**PyPI**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cf-python):
pip install cf-python
* To install from source:
1. Download the cf package from [**cf-python
downloads**](https://bitbucket.org/cfpython/cf-python/downloads).
2. Unpack the library:
tar zxvf cf-python-1.3.2.tar.gz
cd cf-python-1.3.2
3. Install the package:
* To install the cf package to a central location:
python setup.py install
* To install the cf package locally to the user in a default
location:
python setup.py install --user
* To install the cf package in the ``<directory>`` of your
choice:
python setup.py install --home=<directory>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tests
=====
The test scripts are in the ``test`` directory. To run all tests:
python test/run_tests.py
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Command line utilities
======================
The ``cfdump`` tool generates text representations on standard output
of the CF fields contained in the input files.
The ``cfa`` tool creates and writes to disk the CF fields contained in
the input files.
During the installation described above, these scripts will be copied
automatically to a location given by the ``PATH`` environment
variable.
For usage instructions, use the ``-h`` option to display the manual
pages:
cfdump -h
cfa -h
