Description: 
        Python 3 interface to encode and decode GRIB and BUFR files via the
        `ECMWF ecCodes library <https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/ECC/>`_.
        
        Features:
        
        - reads and writes GRIB 1 and 2 files,
        - reads and writes BUFR 3 and 4 files,
        - supports all modern versions of Python 3.7, 3.6, 3.5 and PyPy3,
        - works on most *Linux* distributions and *MacOS*, the *ecCodes* C-library is the only system dependency,
        - PyPI package can be installed without compiling,
          at the cost of being twice as slow as the original *ecCodes* module,
        - an optional compile step makes the code as fast as the original module
          but it needs a recent version of *ecCodes* `>= 2.13.0`.
        
        Limitations:
        
        - Microsoft Windows support is untested.
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        The package is installed from PyPI with::
        
            $ pip install eccodes-python
        
        
        System dependencies
        -------------------
        
        The Python module depends on the ECMWF *ecCodes* library
        that must be installed on the system and accessible as a shared library.
        
        On a MacOS with HomeBrew use::
        
            $ brew install eccodes
        
        Or if you manage binary packages with *Conda* use::
        
            $ conda install -c conda-forge eccodes
        
        As an alternative you may install the official source distribution
        by following the instructions at
        https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/ECC/ecCodes+installation
        
        You may run a simple selfcheck command to ensure that your system is set up correctly::
        
            $ python -m eccodes selfcheck
            Found: ecCodes v2.13.0.
            Your system is ready.
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Refer to the *ecCodes* `documentation pages <https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/Documentation>`_
        for usage.
        
        
        Experimental features
        =====================
        
        Fast bindings
        -------------
        
        To test the much faster *CFFI* API level, out-of-line mode you need the *ecCodes*
        header files.
        Then you need to clone the repo in the same folder as your *ecCodes* source tree,
        make a ``pip`` development install and custom compile the binary bindings::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/ecmwf/eccodes-python
            $ cd eccodes-python
            $ pip install -e .
            $ python builder.py
        
        To revert back to ABI level, in-line more just remove the compiled bindings::
        
            $ rm gribapi/_bindings.*
