ANN: First public release of cfgrib a GRIB driver for xarray based on ecCodes

[Alessandro Amici]

On behalf of ECMWF I'm pleased to announce the first public release of
`cfgrib`, a Python interface to map GRIB files to the NetCDF Common Data
Model following the CF Conventions using ECMWF ecCodes for decoding.
Included in the package is a GRIB driver for xarray.

https://pypi.org/project/cfgrib/0.8.4

Please note that the development stage of this project is **Alpha**.

Features:

- provisional GRIB driver for xarray,
- support all modern versions of Python 3.7, 3.6, 3.5 and 2.7, plus PyPy
and PyPy3,
- read the data lazily and efficiently in terms of both memory usage and
disk access,
- map a GRIB 1 or 2 file to a set of N-dimensional variables following the
NetCDF Common Data Model,
- add CF Conventions attributes to known coordinate and data variables,
- no write support (yet).

The main repository is hosted on GitHub, testing, bug report and
contributions are highly welcomed and appreciated. Every little help
counts, so do not hesitate!

the Apache License, Version 2.0, the development is led by B-Open <
