API reference

---

Version 3.13.0 for version 1.9 of the CF conventions.

Important

This version of cf is for Python 3 only and there are incompatible differences between versions 2.x and 3.x of cf.

Scripts written for version 2.x but running under version 3.x should either work as expected, or provide informative error messages on the new API usage. However, it is advised that the outputs of older scripts are checked when running with Python 3 versions of the cf library.

For version 2.x documentation, see the releases page.
