Description Emanuele Di Giacomo 2014-05-16 12:17:52 UTC

Description of problem:
The Python module "gribapi" cannot be imported, because the module is not installed in a standard path.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.12.0-3

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. python -c "import gribapi"

Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gribapi

Additional info:
A temporary workaround is to add he installation directory to the environment variable PYTHONPATH (`export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/grib_api:/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/grib_api"`).

Comment 1 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2014-07-23 23:37:03 UTC

This appears to be the way upstream installs it, though I don't know why, since it doesn't match their examples.

Comment 2 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2014-07-23 23:47:51 UTC

Here is an upstream report about it: https://software.ecmwf.int/issues/browse/SUP-409 Marked as "resolved" because they have some invisible bug report somewhere else, though not really.

But there is a patch available here: http://proj.badc.rl.ac.uk/cedaservices/ticket/30

Comment 3 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2014-07-24 06:10:40 UTC

I think maybe the CEDA patch is a bit specific to them, but this should work:
