   Description     : Python client for ECMWF web services API

Binary package names: python3-ecmwf-api-client pypy-ecmwf-api-client

  ECMWF WebAPI is a set of services developed by ECMWF to allow
  users from the outside to access some internal features and
  data of the centre.
  .
  This external access is limited and managed by the User
  Profile access (Member State, Commercial customers, ECMWF
  staff member...).
  Some of these services are public and some other are
  restricted to the Archive Access.
  .
  Anonymous access is the default type of access, with no
  configuration needed. However, anonymous access is only
  available for a limited set of datasets, and comes with a
  much lower quality of service.
  For access to all the available datasets, and an improved
  quality of service, the use of registered access is
  recommended.

This package is a dependency of eodag which is planned to be included in 
Debian GIS.
