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"`).
This appears to be the way upstream installs it, though I don't know why, since it doesn't match their examples.
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
I think maybe the CEDA patch is a bit specific to them, but this should work: https://github.com/QuLogic/rpmbuild-specs/blob/master/SOURCES/grib_api-python.patch
