It exposes a key/value interface to decode GRIB (gridded binary) and BUFR (binary universal form for the representation of meteorological data) messages, as well as WMO GTS headers. The package is designed for climate scientists, weather modelers, and data engineers who work with operational forecast data, reanalysis products, or observational records stored in these formats.\n\nThe package ships as pre-built wheels for multiple Python versions on macOS and Linux, but installation requires the underlying ecCodes C library and its runtime dependencies. It is actively maintained by ECMWF and classified as Graduated software under their maturity guidelines, indicating production readiness.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with GRIB or BUFR meteorological data and your system can satisfy the ecCodes C library dependency. The package is actively maintained, widely used, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is officially Graduated by ECMWF. Verify that the license treatment (Apache 2.0 per the description, but unclear in metadata) and system-level installation requirements fit your environment before committing."},"id":"eccodeslib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eccodeslib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eccodeslib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/eccodeslib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"eccodeslib","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"\"eccodeslib\""},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":973379,"position":4605,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.48.0.26"}
