Reading grib2 format data without pygrib package

I'm familiar with reading and extracting information on grib2 format meteorology data with the python package pygrib. It's easy to implement.

I have tried to install the pygrib package in Linux cluster using conda install.

But when I import this package, the error comes with follow information:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /home/hyf/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/../../libgrib_api.so)

I could't update the glibc version to 2.7 due to the privilege limits. I have tried to compile the glibc-2.7 manually but causing terrible Segmentation faults.

Is there any alternative method to read grib2 data without the support of pygrib.

Any comments and advice would be appreciate!

If you can read netcdf and don't mind relying on an external program, you should be able to convert grib2 to netcdf with wgrib2:

wgrib2 grib2_file.grb2 -netcdf netcdf_file.nc
