Thank you for clarifying! Unfortunately, Metosat is not a data product we receive over our LDM, so it is not something we ingest and serve in AWIPS (our EDEX server). You might be able to ingest it into a custom EDEX server of your own, and then access it with python-awips, but it's not something we have available at this tome.
