@bikegeek I think I will need some help with these build errors. I was able to solve one myself, but I'm feeling unsure about some of these. Are you able to help?

@bikegeek It looks like changes may affect the METcalcpy repo, so I'll hold off on that release until these errors are resolved.

I just approved the PR (for METcalcpy) and all the tests are passing... I'll investigate the build failures in METplotpy.
