  Description     : Python 3 interface to encode and decode GRIB and BUFR files via the ECMWF ecCodes library.

  This is the Python interface to the eccodes library.
  It reads and writes GRIB 1 and 2 files, and reads and writes BUFR 3 and 4 files.
  .
  This uses the eccodes library already in Debian. Previous eccodes versions shipped a Python library (using SWIG);
  it is now split out using a CFFI interface as a separate package.
