Describe the Task

This issue arose from a request from EMC to compile a complete list of all Python packages that are used for the METplus wrappers use cases, METcalcpy, and METplotpy. To run the METplus wrappers, the only Python package that is required besides the standard packages is dateutil (python-dateutil). However, some METplus use cases have additional Python package dependencies to run. Use cases that utilize Python Embedding in the MET tools need to have xarray, numpy, pandas, and netCDF4, as well as any other Python packages that are used in the script that is used. The full list of package dependencies for the use cases depends on which cases need to be supported on WCOSS2, and it was determined that EMC users would like to have all of the use cases available for running on WCOSS2.

The required packages for METcalcpy and METplotpy are listed in the pages below, respectively:
https://metcalcpy.readthedocs.io/en/develop/Users_Guide/installation.html
https://metplotpy.readthedocs.io/en/develop/Users_Guide/installation.html

It would be helpful for contributors to METplus wrappers, METcalcpy, and METplotpy, to continuously update the spreadsheet for less effort in the future and also for reference by others.
