CF utilities consolidation #774

Open daltonkell opened 4 years ago

daltonkell commented 4 years ago

There are two modules proclaiming to be utilities for the CF specification checks:

cf/util.py
cfutil.py

Both contain functionality to help with CF checks. They should be consolidated into one module. I propose consolidation into cf/util.py.

While I agree this was a confusing decision, if I recall correctly a number of plugins may rely on modules being located in certain places. Changing the location of functions may break functionality for those existing checkers as was the case here: https://github.com/ioos/cc-plugin-glider/pull/39

Perhaps we could scope out what might need to be done for these plugins to align everything
