[pyngl-talk] PyNGL

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Jose and Sasha,


Jose — We actually do have a PyNGL package “pyngl", as well as an NCL package “ncl", available via conda. These packages were created in the past few months and are still somewhat experimental (they do not correspond to an official release version and are essentially just development snapshots for now), and we do not yet have any relevant documentation on our website.

If you are interested in trying this installation method, I would recommend installing PyNGL into its own conda environment if possible; dependency version mismatches may occur when installing PyNGL/NCL alongside certain other conda packages, another reason why I still consider these packages to be “experimental”.

In order to install PyNGL using conda, the channels “dbrown” and “khallock” must be included in your “conda create” or “conda install” command, for example:
conda create --name pyngl --channel dbrown --channel khallock pyngl


Sasha — Regarding Python 3 support, this is a topic that we’ve recently been discussing internally and have identified as being fairly high priority. We have explored several options for porting PyNGL and PyNIO to Python 3, but this is still very much a work in progress. We will definitely send announcements to pyngl-talk and other appropriate mailing lists when more progress has been made.


I hope this helps!

Kevin

> Hi I am a meteorology student at San Jose State University and have been trying to install PyNGL for the past month or so. I was able to acquire PyNIO from “conda” but not PyNGL. I am not a programmer myself, just a meteorologist who uses Python to analyze weather and climate data. Will PyNGL ever cross over to conda? What is the easiest way to install PyNGL for a Mac user who uses Terminal to code.
