To follow the release of Unidata AWIPS 18.1.1, the latest Python-AWIPS Data
Access Framework (python-awips) release is now available
https://pypi.org/project/python-awips/
https://github.com/Unidata/python-awips/releases/tag/v18.1.1
update with pip:
pip install python-awips -U
*Release Notes*
- python-awips naming convention will now follow AWIPS (18.1.1, 18.1.2,
etc.) beginning with this release.
- New class GetGridLatLonRequest for lat/long requests to be made
separately from gridded data requests.
- Full Vtec color definitions for watch/warn products.
- Sets/gets for geospatial envelope and coordinate reference system
(WKT) in GetGridDataResponse.py
- New optional "lazy loading" of grids, where the library can wait until
the lat/lon data for a grid is needed before loading. Examples of when this
should be set to True are when the lat/lon information is not used or when
it is used only if certain conditions within the data are met. It could be
set to False if it is guaranteed that all lat/lon information is needed.
- New DataQueue convenience class for using the notifications feature.
This is a collection that, once connected to EDEX by calling start(), fills
with data as notifications come in. Runs on a separate thread to allow
non-blocking data retrieval.
- New data notification class PyGridNotification which improves
performance over requesting by datatime since it requests only the
parameter that the notification was received for (instead of this and all
previous parameters for the same forecast hour). However, this this fails
for derived requests.
- New adapter GeomDataRespAdapter.py for GetGeometryDataResponse.
- New build organization for python-awips to collect the code
contributions from awips2-builds, awips2-core plugins.
- New dynamicserialize classes GetPrimarySiteRequest and
ValidateConfigRequest.
- Apache Thrift updated to version 0.10.0.
