PyGDX

PyGDX is a Python 3 package for accessing data stored in GDX-formatted files, through the Python bindings for the GAMS GDX API. Inspired by the similar package, also named py-gdx, by Geoff Leyland, this version makes use of xarray to provide labelled data structures which can be easily manipulated with NumPy for calculations and plotting.
