Tip

Please test the new Python3 interface carefully and provide us with feedback.

With ecCodes 2.13.0, there is a new Python3 interface based on CFFI (rather than SWIG). This interface is separated into its own package which is available on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/eccodes-python/)
Thanks to B-Open for their contribution.
Note: For Python2 there is no change, we are still using SWIG and the interface is bundled in the ecCodes tarball.

Warning

Note: The ecCodes Python 2 interface will be removed in Q1 2023. Users are strongly advised to migrate to Python 3


Installation

The Python module depends on the ecCodes library that must be installed on the system and accessible as a shared library.
