class Grib2Encode:
    """
 Class for encoding data into a GRIB2 message.
  - Creating a class instance (L{__init__}) initializes the message and adds
    sections 0 and 1 (the indicator and identification sections),
  - method L{addgrid} adds a grid definition (section 3) to the messsage.
  - method L{addfield} adds sections 4-7 to the message (the product
    definition, data representation, bitmap and data sections).
  - method L{end} adds the end section (section 8) and terminates the message.


 A GRIB Edition 2 message is a machine independent format for storing
 one or more gridded data fields.  Each GRIB2 message consists of the
 following sections:
  - SECTION 0: Indicator Section - only one per message
  - SECTION 1: Identification Section - only one per message
  - SECTION 2: (Local Use Section) - optional
  - SECTION 3: Grid Definition Section
  - SECTION 4: Product Definition Section
  - SECTION 5: Data Representation Section
  - SECTION 6: Bit-map Section
  - SECTION 7: Data Section
  - SECTION 8: End Section

 Sequences of GRIB sections 2 to 7, 3 to 7, or sections 4 to 7 may be repeated
 within a single GRIB message.  All sections within such repeated sequences
 must be present and shall appear in the numerical order noted above.
 Unrepeated sections remain in effect until redefined.

 Note:  Writing section 2 (the 'local use section') is
 not yet supported.
