This task came about from a request from EMC to provide a complete list of Python packages needed for METcalcpy, METplotpy, and METplus wrappers. Initially created in a Google Spreadsheet, we realize it would be better to provide this information in our existing Sphinx environment.

Describe the Task

Lisa: In the METplus User's Guide Overview, between section "METplus Wrappers Components" (currently 1.4) and "METplus Release Notes" (currently 1.5), create a new section called "METplus Components Python Requirements" (which will become section 1.5). Copy the information into the spreadsheet in the same format as the METplus Database of Statistics.
DONE

Lisa or Julie: Update section "8.4.4.2. Add Sphinx Documentation File" of the documentation to change the link to the spreadsheet in the text below:

Update the list of External Dependencies (if applicable) to include any required Python packages. Update the METplus Components Python Requirements spreadsheet. If the package is already listed in the spreadsheet, add a link to the documentation page for this new use case, following the format in the spreadsheet. If the package is not already listed, update the spreadsheet to include the name of the required package, the version, the METplus component (e.g. METplus wrappers, METcalcpy, METplotpy), the source, a brief description, and a link to this new use case that uses this new Python package.

to point to the new section in the documentation.
DONE

Julie: Update the issue templates and the pull request templates to indicate that if there are new Python packages being added for that pull request, check to ensure they are listed in the table referenced above.
