Errors and error messages in CMOR via Python about cmor

[ehogan]

I just noticed that the points in 1) are already mentioned in issue #19, so I apologise for the duplication.

ehogan,

You need to tell cmor where your tables are so that they can be loaded. The tables such as CMIP5_Amon, CMIP5_Omon can be found here: https://github.com/PCMDI/cmip5-cmor-tables/tree/master/Tables

Here is an example on cmor setup

        # -----------------------------------
        # Take care of cmor initialization.
        # -----------------------------------
        cmor.setup(inpath="/home/ehogan",
                   netcdf_file_action = cmor.CMOR_REPLACE)

You can find many examples in the github repository. Here is a good one that might help you setup cmor:
https://github.com/PCMDI/cmor/blob/master/Test/test_python_1D_var.py

A exhaustive documentation of each function and parameters can be found here:

https://github.com/PCMDI/cmor/blob/master/Doc/cmor_users_guide.doc

Hope this gets you going!

@dnadeau4 we should use:
https://docs.python.org/2/c-api/exceptions.html#c.PyErr_SetString

@ehogan @dnadeau4 is this a dupe of #65 and if so want to close?
