Reference

The factual material, for looking things up rather than reading through.

The API documentation is generated from the source, so it describes the package you have installed. Beside it sit the command line, every configuration option and its default, a glossary, the published sources this documentation cites, what’s new in each release, and the changelog.

If you are deciding what to catch, read tephpy.exceptions. What tephpy raises about your data — its units, its physical consistency, the source it came from, the configuration file in force — derives from TephpyError, so one except clause covers that subject, and the module sets out the narrower classes for when it is too broad. Ordinary argument mistakes stay outside the hierarchy and raise the builtin exceptions instead.

The glossary is worth knowing about before you need it. tephpy’s audience is scientific software engineers rather than meteorologists, so each entry gives the concept in one plain sentence and then says how it appears in the package — the data it involves, its units, and the API that carries it.
