eccodes Python Interface

The eccodes library provides a Python interface to the ECMWF ecCodes GRIB and BUFR decoder/encoder. It allows users to read, write, and manipulate GRIB and BUFR meteorological data files, providing both a low-level API mapping directly to the C library and a higher-level object-oriented interface. It is actively maintained by ECMWF with frequent releases, typically every 1-2 months, mirroring the underlying ecCodes C library.
