I'm pleased to announce the v0.3 release for xray, N-D labeled arrays and datasets in Python. xray is an open source project and Python package that aims to bring the labeled data power of pandas to the physical sciences, by providing N-dimensional variants of the core pandas data structures, Series and DataFrame: the xray DataArray and Dataset. Our goal is to provide a pandas-like and pandas-compatible toolkit for analytics on multi-dimensional arrays, rather than the tabular data for which pandas excels. Our approach adopts the Common Data Model for self-describing scientific data in widespread use in the Earth sciences (e.g., netCDF and OPeNDAP): xray.Dataset is an in-memory representation of a netCDF file.
