310547057,MDU6SXNzdWUzMTA1NDcwNTc=,2034,simple command line interface for xarray,5462289,closed,0,,,21,2018-04-02T17:24:56Z,2020-04-07T09:35:29Z,2020-04-07T09:35:29Z,NONE,,,,"All my deepest apologies in advance if this is out of scope or naive. This is my first issue in this project and I have been using xarray only for a couple of days.

By the way, xarray is exactly what I needed as a planetary scientist / climate modeler. It makes my own homemade DIY non-professional https://github.com/aymeric-spiga/planetoplot library looks pretty useless. I wonder why I did not come across xarray before! I came to discover xarray because I was looking for better solutions than my DIY stuff. Better late than never...

So xarray has almost everything I need and it is a pretty impressive piece of work. There is one thing that I need though (and that seemed useful when I got feedback on the DIY stuff from users in my team) is the possibility to have a CLI to quickly explore the contents of a netCDF file and to make quick plots to check stuff. 

My questions are
1. Did I miss something similar that is already existing in the xarray project?
2. If not, would this feature be useful for other people?

To emulate what I basically need, I wrote a small piece of code I am now using for quick exploration. I create a repository here https://github.com/aymeric-spiga/xarray-cli

Any thoughts or suggestions or comments welcome.

Again, many thanks for the great work with xarray.","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2034/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed,13221727,issue
