write

write(path, obj1[, obj2, ...])

write(filehandler, obj1[, obj2, ...])

Writes output to a file specified by path or filehandler.

Parameters

path (str) – output file path
filehandler (Metview filehandler object) – Metview filehandler of the output file (has to be created with file())
obj (Metview data object (see below)) – data objects to be written into the output

Return type

None

The output file format depends on the object type that is being written:

Object	Output format
`Fieldset`	GRIB
`Geopoints`	Geopoints
`Bufr`	BUFR
`NetCDF`	NetCDF
`Odb`	ODB
other types	text

If you use write() sequentially, note that it will overwrite any previous output if called with a path, but will add to previous output if called with a filehandler.

Note that special characters such as newline and tab can be written to text files.
