pywgrib2_xr: GRIB2 library based on wgrib2

pywgrib2_xr is a Python package to manipulate GRIB2 files. The background engine is wgrib2. wgrib2 is known as an executable, recent releases added C and Fortran library API. Version 3.0 comes with low-level Python package pywgrib2_s (s for simple). pywgrib2_xr (xr for xarray) decodes GRIB2 files to xarray datasets. It is influenced by cfgrib, another Python package to read GRIB files, while trying to address cfgrib issues with some data files originating at NCEP.

The low-level interface to wgrib2 C-API can be used to write GRIB2 files.

pywgrib2_xr comes with its own remapping library iplib.
