Some ECMWF tools and libraries have been bundled together in the ecmwf-toolbox package. This now provides, from a single place ecCodes, Magics, Metview and ODC.
Other packages such as ecFlow are still available in their classic standalone modules. If in doubt, you may run module spider <package> to find the right module for you.
In order to use any of those, you just need to do:
module load ecmwf-toolbox
The individual modules for ecCodes, Magics, Metview and ODC are no longer present. You must replace any loads of those modules by ecmwf-toolbox

Using the ecmwf-toolbox from Python
Using the classic python3 installation
Make sure you have the ecmwf-toolbox loaded in your environment along with the python3
module load python3 ecmwf-toolbox
Using the conda ecmwf environment
This is still under development
You may use one of the predefined conda environments containing ECMWF packages. You can see which ones are available with:
module load conda conda env list
And the activate your desired one:
conda activate ecmwf-2021.01
See HPC2020: Python support for more details.
Legacy software packages not available
As announced in Bologna - New Data Centre, a number of software packages and libraries that have been available in previous ECMWF platforms are not provided:
