Outdated dependencies

[mmaelicke]

Hey there,
Thanks for this nice repository. I was just wondering if there is any specific reason to restrict the dependencies to the versions specified in setup.py? Some of them are rather outdated and I would prefer to keep my pandas stable release, than downgrading to 0.25.

Other question: does 'comprehensive' from the Readme also include grid_data, like the Radolan products made available on the CDC server (e.g. https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/CDC/grids_germany/hourly/radolan/recent/asc/) ?

Thanks

Dear Mirko,

we just wanted to mention that we integrated Jeremiahs code to acquire MOSMIX data into Wetterdienst through earthobservations/wetterdienst#114 just recently.

RADOLAN support has also been integrated the other day through earthobservations/wetterdienst#129 and there are more things to come, see earthobservations/wetterdienst#140.

You might also be interested that @kmuehlbauer, one of the authors and maintainer of wradlib, also joined our conversation at earthobservations/wetterdienst#50 (comment).

You can find respective documentation about how to use Wetterdienst to acquire MOSMIX data at [1,2] and about RADOLAN data at [3,4].

We hope you will also be able to move on to Wetterdienst and we will be happy to receive any feedback about issues or ideas for improvements.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
