Bug 35356 – ebuild request: PyClimate

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description guaka 2003-12-08 10:13:06 UTC]

"It is a Python package designed to accomplish some usual tasks during the analysis of climate variability using Python. It provides functions to perform some simple IO operations, operations with COARDS-compliant netCDF files, EOF analysis, SVD and CCA analysis of coupled data sets, some linear digital filters, kernel based probability density function estimation and access to DCDFLIB.C library from Python."

looks interesting. maybe if someone who would like to contribute could write an ebuild for this.

Initial proposed ebuild

Here's a pretty standard distutils-type ebuild.  Also copies over the test/ and
examples/ directories.

Ebuild with fixed LICENSE=

Oops, got the LICENSE= field wrong.  Now fixed.

1.2.1 version with SRC_URI correction

SRC_URI="http://lcux18.lc.ehu.es/~pyclimate/pyclimate/downloads/${MY_P}.tar.gz"
don't exist. Another SRC_URI is proposed. With that can download, compile and
install 1.2.1 version.

python /usr/share/pyclimate/test/pyclimatetest.py
can't run, but
cd /usr/share/pyclimate/test; python pyclimatetest.py

Updated SRC_URI, testing information

Updated SRC_URI to what is now listed on pyclimate.org.  Also changed the
testing information presented at post-install to reflect the above comment. 
The instructions are now to run 'cd /usr/share/pyclimate/test && sudo python
pyclimatetest.py'

Note: This does not fix the bug from the previous comment, which I see also.

[Comment 7 Adam Roben 2004-02-03 21:12:07 UTC]

After a little investigating, here is ref.shape and val.shape (ref-val is the operation causing the TraceBack):
ref.shape:
(2, 2, 73, 144)
val.shape:
(2, 2, 71, 144)

You can see that the length of the third axes do not match up.

This did work for me under Python 2.2.3, but fails on Python 2.3.3  I wonder if that is the trouble?

Marking WONTFIX, because his project is meant to a very small group of scientists and i think there isn't general interst in it. Thanks for submission, anyway.
