Hi Stephan, thanks for the note. The progress over last two years wasn't impressive IMO, but I hope you'll manage.
As you suggest, I'll have a look at xarray too, as I see xarray.Dataset. I was sure that it doesn't work with non-homogeneous data at all, clearly I need to refresh my opinion. > 22 февр. 2017 г., в 20:55, Stephan Hoyer <sho...@gmail.com> написал(а): > > On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 8:57 AM, Alex Rogozhnikov <alex.rogozhni...@yandex.ru > <mailto:alex.rogozhni...@yandex.ru>> wrote: > Pandas may be nice, if you need a report, and you need get it done tomorrow. > Then you'll throw away the code.
