Just to throw out some ideas, the data you're describing seems like a particularly well fit for `awkward`, a library for ragged arrays (basically, "arrays of structs") which was built...

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe @benbovy has been working on making `MultiIndex`es less of a special case, and by doing so I believe we'd be removing the special...

You should have received a warning when opening the file with instructions on what to do (see also the issue you referenced): ```python In [5]: import xarray as xr ...:...

you could create a new feature branch on the xarray repo (just to be safe) and put the datatree code in a "staging" area. Then copying over the modules one...

I tried my hand at doing the merge, here's the result: [`datatree` on keewis/xarray](https://github.com/keewis/xarray/tree/datatree). This required two extra commits: one for moving the whole repository to a subdirectory (`xarray/datatree_`, note...

> Is it just me or has this approach not actually preserved the history at all? no, that's just the commit for importing the `datatree` repository. Try looking here: https://github.com/keewis/xarray/blame/datatree/xarray/datatree_/datatree/formatting.py...

I don't, I usually just follow the setup instructions from the document you posted: create conda env, activate it, install `xarray` in editable mode, run `pytest`. And really, this is...

as far as I can tell, the cause for the surprising/inconsistent behavior is that `xr.core.coordinates.create_coords_with_default_indexes` (or `xr.core.merge.merge_coordinates_without_align`, I didn't step through `create_coords_with_default_indexes`) drops scalar coordinates with conflicting values. cc @benbovy...

did you try creating a matplotlib colormap instance from your dictionary, then passing that? According to the docstring those are accepted as well, so this should work already (if not,...

it does not, so that's my bad. Could you post (a part of) the dictionary you had in mind? That way, I can actually try things out without guessing (a...
