lpjml coupling

[jnnsbrr]

@jdonges @mensch72 @luana? @wvbloh?
On the lpjml side Werner and I made some progress in

• implement an interface for coupling (via sockets) by Werner
• provide a Demo how to couple LPJmL with copan including a Python Demo by Werner
• provide a LpjmlConfig class to parse, read, set and write lpjml config files for corresponding LPJmL runs by @jnnsbrr

still pending (to be implemented soon)

• more convenience set methods for LpjmlConfig
• submit_lpjml function to submit (mostly spin-up) runs for LPJmL (mandatory before actual coupled run with copan:core)

The progress can currently be viewed here for those who have access.
Beyond that, we should arrange a meeting for the next steps.

Recently the Python implementation of a coupling interface, described above, has been separated from the LPJmL model. It is now available here

Tasks left

• finish Python package implementation (to be able to install it)
• add read/write data methods for the coupler class
• test/debug coupling
• extends get methods for available LPJmL outputs with description for each
• implement submit_couple function analogously to submit_lpjml
• add interactive option for submit_couple to run both coupled models interactively instead of submitting it to PIK cluster

ok pycoupler should be ready to use, yeay 🙂
So @mensch72 nothing that could hold you back now - at least not from the LPJmL side 😬
I checked the checkboxes from the last comment of what was to be done.

Just noticed that there is one checkbox left to add a method for the available outputs to return the description for each. I will do that soon.
