Import and export WaterML timeseries files

Import WaterML

Basics

This app allows one or multiple WaterML timeseries files to be imported into Hydra.

The app assumes that you have downloaded timeseries files from the cuahsi web service. A single file can be passed to the app or a directory. If a directory is passed, the app will find the appropriate timeseries files and import all the data it can.

Basic usage:

ImportWML.py [-h] [-f Timeseries file]

Options

Option	Short	Parameter	Description
--help	-h		show help message and exit.
--file	-t	Timeseries	File XML file containing a WaterML timeseries
--datacollectionname	-n	Dataset Collection	Name Name of the dataset grouping

File structure

Building a windows executable

• Use pyinstaller (pip install pyisntaller) to build a windows executable.
• cd to the $PATH_TO_HYDRA/HydraPlugins/WaterMLPlugin/trunk
• pyinstaller -F ImportWML.py :
• If you want more compression (a smaller exe), install upx and run: pyinstaller -F –upx-dir=/path/to/upx/dir ExportWML.py
• An executable file will appear in the dist folder
