[AWIPS #FTX-514016]: Python-awips

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for clarifying what you're trying to do. Unfortunately, I have very 
limited experience
with the Data Access Framework (DAF), and our main developer passed away 
unexpectedly this summer
before I had the chance to work with him.
I had one more quick question for you, which edex are you using to try and pull 
pirep data?
Looking over our documentation, it says our DAF supports pirep, but 
unfortunately, when I point 
at our edex (edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu), pirep actually isn't listed as a 
supported data type.
I used the following simple script to print out the supported data types:

#!/awips2/python/bin/python

from ufpy.dataaccess import DataAccessLayer

DataAccessLayer.changeEDEXHost("edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu")

types = DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes()
print(types)

I have no idea why this would be the case since our documentation says it 
should be supported 
from up to 4 years ago.  It does seem that some edex's definitely do support 
pirep data,
so if you have access to another edex, that might be an option for you.  I can 
ask around a 
bit at my work and try to see how/why this functionality was removed and if I 
can reverse it.
I'm sorry I don't have great news for you at this time.
