Thanks for your PR! In #110, we discussed removing this API as it is not used internally. Are you using it?

Thanks for your reply. I seem to have overlooked PR #110.
No at the moment I don't use this interface, but I noticed warnings when running the pytest sequence, and also the conversion to bytecode causes warnings on this code.
As I am packaging the metar module for Fedora I see this kind of warnings pass by, so wanted to fix them.
Anyway, if you decide these interfaces are not useful I don't feel strong about keeping them. Feel free to remove them.

Hi @phobson , what do you think of removing this code entirely?

I certainly never use it. 👍🏻 from me

Thanks again for your effort here @jdkloe , we removed the API as discussed within #155
