But, with python and the pygrib2 module, grib2 is easy.  With the
additional bonus of pyNGL python module and NCL, plots are easy with
grib/grib2.  Convert grib2 to netcdf in a heartbeat.  

pygrib2:

You don't need NCL though to convert grib2 to netCDF.  So, its a natural 
module to add to your python collection.
