Read temperature, humdity, etc from grib2 files with EECodes in python3

I am trying to use EECodes in python to get various weather information, such as temperature, humidity, etc out of grib2 files. I am using the GFS files. I would like to be able to extract the data as (lat,lon,alt,$data_point), and as a 2d array for each altitude.

I have tried the example programs located here: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/grib_iterator_bitmap

I can't figure out what I am looking in the output of that program. When I load the messages using their keys, it is not obvious how to make a grid. When I load the grid, the data doesn't have labels I understand.

@craeft have a look to https://github.com/ecmwf/cfgrib. cfgrib is the new standard for python and grib file handling. It is easy to install and easy to access files. Please install the latest version because it supports GFS files.
