High level package providing Pythonic access to WOUDC data services.

The World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) is one of six World Data Centres which are part of the Global Atmosphere Watch programme of the World Meteorological Organization.

The WOUDC archive is made available via OGC Web Services. These web services are publically available and can be used within a GIS environment and / or software supporting the OGC standards. pywoudc provides a high level library using Python idioms (API, data structures) which provides Python implementations a simple, straightforward bridge without requiring intimate knowledge of the OGC standards.

pywoudc requires Python 2.6 or greater. pywoudc works with Python 3.

pywoudc requires the OWSLib library. Installing via pip or easy_install will ensure that OWSlib is installed as part of pywoudc.

# via pip
pip install pywoudc
# via easy_install
easy_install pywoudc

from pywoudc import WoudcClient
client = WoudcClient()

virtualenv pywoudc
cd pywoudc
source bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/woudc/pywoudc.git

# via distutils
python setup.py test
# manually
python run_tests.py

pywoudc code conventions are as per PEP8
