metar-taf-parser-mivek

library1.13.1pypypiunverified

A Python library for parsing METAR and TAF aviation weather messages. Version 1.11.0 supports runway visual range units and operates on Python >=3.9. The library parses raw METAR/TAF strings into structured model objects with weather phenomena, clouds, wind, visibility, etc. Released on PyPI as metar-taf-parser-mivek, with a development cadence of approximately 2-3 releases per year.

MetarParser

✓ from metar_taf_parser import MetarParser

✗ from metar_taf_parser.parser.metar import MetarParser

Parse a METAR string and access wind data.

from metar_taf_parser.parser.metar import MetarParser raw = "LFPG 251300Z AUTO 23012KT 9999 -RA SCT025 BKN035 12/10 Q1015 NOSIG" parser = MetarParser() try: metar = parser.parse(raw) print(metar.wind.speed, metar.wind.direction) # 12 230 except Exception as e: print(f"Parse error: {e}")

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe parser raises ValueError or ParseException on malformed input; always wrap in try/except.

fix

Wrap parser.parse() in try/except Exception.

affects: all

gotchaWind direction is 0 when variable or calm; do not assume 0 means north.

fix

Check metar.wind.direction is not None or use metar.wind.unit. For variable wind, direction returns 0 with variable flag.

affects: all

gotchaCloud height is in feet; visibility may be in meters or statute miles, check unit field.

fix

Always confirm unit property (e.g., metar.visibility.unit) before interpreting values.

affects: all

deprecatedIn v1.8.0, the top-level __init__.py exports were reduced; importing from 'metar_taf_parser' directly may break in future versions.

fix

Use explicit submodule imports (e.g., from metar_taf_parser.parser.metar import MetarParser).

affects: >=1.8.0
