Package: python3-xarray
Version: 0.15.0-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to use to_netcdf() located in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xarray/backends/api.py on a grib file without
specifying the engine and it appears that the default engine selection end up
on grib engine.
So _get_default_engine calls _get_default_engine_grib as we have a grib file
but this function always raise a ValueError even if cfgrib import succeed but
anyway, there is a real issue with this function as it is returning nothing
while _get_default_engine is expecting an engine.
If we try to, somehow, makes _get_default_engine_grib return cfdisk as engine,
it will still fail as cfgrib is absent of the WRITEABLE_STORES bellow but even
if it would have been present, cfgrib does not implement a writeable store.
WRITEABLE_STORES: Dict[str, Callable] = {
"netcdf4": backends.NetCDF4DataStore.open,
"scipy": backends.ScipyDataStore,
"h5netcdf": backends.H5NetCDFStore.open,
}
I'm quite new dealing with xarray but I think grib engine seems to be on work
in progress or something and doesn't look ready yet.
In order to get the job done, I tryed to make _get_default_engine_grib
returning "netcdf4" based on observation on an older implementation of xarray
(0.10.2-1). This "hack" worked but it is really dirty.
Could you please dig a bit more and fix this issue?
Best regards, and thank you for all job done maintaining theses packages.
