## Python RPN (RPNpy) is a collection of Python modules and scripts developed
## at RPN for scientific use.
## Its main purpose is to act as an augmented interface to Librmn and vgrid
## functions: read, manipulate, interpolate and write RPN Std files data
## in Python with a very simple and minimalist interface while also 
## offering powerful lower level functions for special cases. 
## The Python RPN package can be used for fast prototyping and full development 
## of production scripts.
## It allows to use powerful python data analysis and visualization tools 
## like numpy, scipy and matplotlib among others.

## Note: In order to use Python RPN, you must have librmn and 
##       vgrid (6.0 or later) installed along with their shared libraries.

## ==== Developing code ============================================================

## Basic setup
git clone git@github.com:meteokid/python-rpn.git rpnpy

cd rpnpy
# git checkout -b mybranch python-rpn_VERSION
## You may want to set the librmn and libdesrip (vgrid) versions
## These libraries need to be present in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or PYTHONPATH
# export RPNPY_RMN_VERSION=${RPNPY_RMN_VERSION:-_015.2}
# export RPNPY_VGD_VERSION=${RPNPY_VGD_VERSION:-shared_6.0.0}
. ./.setenv.dot
rm -f lib/rpnpy/version.py
cat >> lib/rpnpy/version.py << EOF
__VERSION__    = "2.0.dev-${USER:-${LOGNAME}}"
__LASTUPDATE__ = "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z')"
EOF

## Edit python source in:
## ./lib/
## ./share/tests/

## Test your code modificatons with:
for mytest in share/tests/test_*.py ; do
    python ${mytest}
done

## Once tested you may send your code/patch 
## (or path to your git clone after you commited your changes) 
## to stephane.chamberland@canada.ca
## 
## or do a fork of the project on github and issue a pull request
