The intent of the python module is to offer a scripting interface to the F90 subroutines. It takes advantage of the power of python and of the computational efficiency of fortran.

Thanks to the use of CDAT, the module easily handle gridded dataset, using masks and weights for example. It also allows the analysis of several datasets at the same time by stacking them. The module performs some tasks in a transparant way: packing and unpacking of data, PCA reduction before MSSA anaysis, etc.
