Hi im new to Python and basemap i am trying to follow the script below that
was posted in another thread  here
<http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Plotting-NOAA-data-td19588.html>  
but im getting this error

alec@alec-imedia-S2870:~$ python Desktop/test.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/mpl_toolkits/__init__.py:2: UserWarning: Module
dap was already imported from None, but /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is

    datavar = f.variables['WWSWHGT_P0_L1_GLL0']
KeyError: 'WWSWHGT_P0_L1_GLL0'

The script im trying to run below

import Nio
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
f = Nio.open_file('akw.t00z.grib.grib2')
print f.variables.keys()
lons = f.variables['lon_0'][:]
# flip latitudes so data goes S-->N
lats = f.variables['lat_0'][::-1]
times = f.variables['forecast_time0'][:]
datavar = f.variables['WWSWHGT_P0_L1_GLL0']
ntime = 10
data = datavar[ntime,::-1]
print f.variables['WWSWHGT_P0_L1_GLL0']
print data.min(), data.max()
m = Basemap(projection='cyl',llcrnrlat=lats[0],llcrnrlon=lons[0],\
            urcrnrlat=lats[-1],urcrnrlon=lons[-1],resolution='l')
x, y = m(*np.meshgrid(lons, lats))
levels = np.arange(0,9.1,0.5)
m.contourf(x,y,data,levels)
m.drawcoastlines()
m.fillcontinents()
m.drawparallels(np.arange(40,81,10),labels=[1,0,0,0])
m.drawmeridians(np.arange(150,241,10),labels=[0,0,0,1])
m.drawparallels(np.arange(40,81,10),labels=[1,0,0,0])
m.drawmeridians(np.arange(150,241,10),labels=[0,0,0,1])
plt.title(datavar.long_name+' %s hr fcst'%(times[ntime]),fontsize=12)
plt.colorbar(orientation='horizontal',shrink=0.9,format="%g")
plt.show()
