ebas-io is a python package for reading/writing NASA-Ames 1001 files with EBAS extensions (EBAS NASA-Ames).

>**Attention: changed behaviour of the EbasCommandline wrapper object!**
Starting with version 3.1.1, the EbasCommandline object does not automatically execute the main function. Now an explicit ```run()``` on the object is needed. Please consider this if you use the EbasCommandline wrapper in your scripts!
Please mind that you probably have to have administrator rights ('sudo easy_install ...' on linux/unix machines). Alternatively you may want to install the packages locally for your user (see --prefix in the [easy_install](http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html) documentation).

>**Attention: changed package structure as of version 3.0.13!**
Starting with version 3.0.13, all nilu internal dependencies (nilutility, AtmosPhys, fileformats) are now included in the ebas-io egg. This means, the installation is now much simpler.
But: users having installed an earlier version should clean their python installation form this old extra packages before installing the new ebas-io package. This can be done as follows:
>```bash
```bash
pip uninstall AtmosPhys
pip uninstall fileformats
pip uninstall nilutility
pip uninstall ebas-io
```

## Just want to test it?
If you do not want to install the package on any of your machines yet, you could [download a minimalistic virtual machine](http://folk.nilu.no/~paul/ebas-io/ebas-io_test.7z) for [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org). An installation of VirtualBox is needed however for this option.
