PyGrADS uploaded to sf.net

[Arlindo da Silva]

All,

   The Python interface to GrADS (a.k.a. "PyGrADS") is now available on
sourceforge:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=256758

    PyGrADS is written in 100% Pure Python (read: no C extensions, so it
runs under Jython) that allows you to start GrADS and interact with it. If
you have Numpy, Matplotlib and other python packages you can exchange
variable data between GrADS and python, a feature that allows you to use the
numerical aspects of python, or even do some of your plots with Matplotlib.
You can find more information at the OpenGrADS Wiki, including installation
instructions:

   http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Python_Interface_to_GrADS

Notice that PyGrADS requires GrADS v1.9.0-rc1 and later, including the just
released GrADS v2.0.a0. (However, at this point GrADS v2.0.a0 only supports
the basic functionality of PyGrADS as it lacks dynamic extensions; we hope
to address this issue in the near future.)  When using PyGrADS with
v1.9.0-rc1 make sure to install the corresponding dynamic extensions:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=256757

(You only need these extensions if you would like to exchange variable data
with python). You can find more information about dynamic extensions,
including installation instructions here:

  http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_Defined_Extensions

  *IMPORTANT: *PyGrADS does not work with GrADS v1.9beta4 and earlier  as
these versions lack the "-u" switch necessary for driving the grads
application from python.

  Cheers!

       Arlindo
