Here is a method that enables searching for intersecting values of a certain key along all values of another key. The specific use case here is: "Which scenarios and members are available for both variables tas and hfds" for example.
The usage would be to find all available scenarios and members for both variables and then search the resulting
FileContainer
for intersecting values alongscenario_member
. In this casesearch_key = variable
andintersect_key = scenario_member
. I chose this approach because I felt it relatively straight forward, more than implementing it inFileFinder
.I am not very happy with the names and my explanation in the docstring, but at least the example should make it quite clear.
