need module for text_file IO for various weather formats. #8

Closed Jwely closed 9 years ago

Jwely commented 9 years ago

Quickly discovering that many people have specific types of files they are used to reading, many of them are fixed-width format containing weather data. These specialized text files require their own reading/writing functions, but there is a need to be able to interchangably convert between formats and combine measurements from a variety of them.

We need a "text file object" that has rows (a list of lists), and headers (a list). Each of our custom text readers can be writen to output a text file object, which can be easily handled by other modules such as the time_series module.

This issue was solved by addition of the textio module.
