  madrigalWeb is a pure python module to access data from
  any Madrigal database. For documentation and examples go
  to any Madrigal site such as http://cedar.openmadrigal.org


  The easiest way to use the Madrigal python remote data
  access API is to simply let the web interface write the
  script you need for you. Just choose the Access data
  pull-down menu and choose Create a command to download
  multiple exps. Then follow the instructions, and you will
  have the command you need to download whatever you want
  from Madrigal. Be sure to select python as the language
  you want to create the command with. You can choose to
  download files as they are in Madrigal in either
  column-delimited ascii, Hdf5, or netCDF4 formats, or you
  can choose the parameters yourself (including derived
  parameters), and optionally include filters on the data
  you get back.


  This web interface will generate python commands using one
  of the following two Python scripts: globalDownload.py and
  globalIsprint.py. Use globalDownload.py if you want data
  as it is in Madrigal. Use globalIsprint.py to choose
  parameters and/or filters. These two scripts are
  documented below, for those who do not want to use the web
  interface to generate the needed arguments:


  See the online documentation for the script
  globalCitation.py. This script is used to create a
  permanent citation to a group of Madrigal files.
