Hi Christopher,

Are you looking for a way to run the cfchecker locally or submit checking requests to one of the websites in a script?

I think both would be possible with a little help. The cfchecker is now available on the Python Package Index at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cfchecker. It needs a little help to work out of the box -- you need to configure UDUNITS and the location of several CF XML files. It's on my long-term TODO list to make this configuration easier.

Also the CF-checker at BADC and NCAS-CMS has a very simple HTTP interface that could be scripted.

Cheers,
Stephen.

I know about the web sites where you use a form to upload files to check CF compliance, but is there a service somewhere that can be accessed by a script?
