  Description     : Clean, simple and fast Python access to public hydrology & climatology data

Ulmo retrieves and parses datasets from the web, and returns simple Python
data structures that can be easily pulled into more sophisticated tools such
as pandas. It caches datasets locally and harvests updates as needed.

A variety of datasets and services are supported, including the USGS National
Water Information System, USGS National Elevation Dataset services, USGS
Earth Resources Observation Systems services, NASA Daymet weather data, and
several more both available and planned.

This will be packaged under the Science Team.

Hi,

seems that's a pretty nice candidate for the meteorology task.  So
you can profit from SoB if ypou confirm whether you consider it rather
in meteorology or meteorology-dev you could ask for SoB[1]

Kind regards

      Andreas.

Sure, I've added an entry to the table, I think meteorology would be a
very fitting spot for the package.

Hi Kurt,

thanks for preparing python-ulmo.  I recived the request for sponsering
via the SoB wiki[1].  To make sure you will fully understand the meaning
of adding a package to a task I'd like to the latest commit[2] which
really generates the URL you tried to point to in the line of the SoB
table.  The sense of the SoB page is that new maintainers will learn
more about Blends and understand the concept.  So you should make sure
that the package is really added to the task (either by pinging the
mailinglist in advance to make somebody adding it or by creating a pull
request) before the web sentinel entry is created.  You should also
understand that since it seems to be a development tool (no user
application) it rather should go to meteorology-dev metapackage (please
confirm that this is true).

I'll upload the package soon, despite not all SoB preconditions are
fulfilled - please make sure that this will be the case next time.

Kind regards and thanks for preparing this package

    Andreas.

Thank you Andreas.

Yes, the repo at [2] was the missing link for me as I wasn't sure what
else needed to be done there. I was unsure also as to whether it should
go in -dev or not as there are several other Python libraries in just
meteorology, but by your description I'd say it should indeed be in -dev.

It looks like there are a few other problems with the package (I forgot
to update the autopkgtest to use ulmo instead of fluids, the Python
package I started with to package ulmo) and some d/copyright issues, so
I'll have to prepare some amendments as well.

I've updated the packaging at [1] to address the failing build and bug
#905636. [2] Please take a look.
