Describe the Enhancement

Python embedding currently requires a user to define all attributes about the grid that their data is on. Could we support numbered grids already known to MET, either via a new Python embedding-specific attribute (i.e. grid_number) or via the set_attr_grid command line argument like shown in #1020 ? This would end up supporting a wide variety of data on commonly-used grids already known to MET, and relieve the user from needing to re-describe their data using all of the required grid attributes MET needs in those cases.
