[Opengrads-devel] PyGrads tarball

[Arlindo da S. <da...@al...>]

All,

  I just placed a pygrads tarball on http://opengrads.org/pre-rel if you
would like to give it a try. (So far tested on Mac OS X, Mandriva 2008 and
Fedora 7).

% tar xvfz pygrads-1.0.6.tar.gz

and take a look at the README for installation info, requirements etc. You
you want to run the examples:

% cd pygrads-1.0.6/examples
% ./galab_examples.py

this will generate a bunch of .png files. If you have imagemagick installed,
you can see a "slide show" with the command:

% animate -delay 300 *.png

Notice that the "galab examples" require Matplotlib with the basemap
toolkit, see the README.

Pat: would you consider packaging pygrads for Fedora? It already has all the
requirements. I believe that if you enter

% python setup.py bdist_rpm

it will create the RPM for you, but you may need to tweak setup.py to
specify the dependencies.
