PyROMS developments

#1 Unread post by m.hadfield »

For anyone who's interested, I am interested in contributing to the development of PyROMS. I have opened a couple of issues:
  • Issue 23: Improve installation and documentation thereof
  • Issue 24: Improve documentation and example code
As the README says, there are a few rough edges in PyROMS. The roughest one is the SCRIP extension, which can't currently be build with "python setup.py" or PIP. I don't know if the best way forward is to
  1. Clean up the building and installation of the SCRIP code currently in PyROMS;
  2. Replace it with PySCRIP;
  3. Abandon SCRIP in favour of ESMPy.
I think 3 is probably the best option long-term, but before this is done I think it would be wise to develop test code and if I am to attempt this I need to learn more about how the existing code works.

In due course I would like to get PyROMS working on conda-forge.

Anyway, i intend to work on this progressively and raise issues on the PyROMS repository as I go.
