Dear Obspy Users
I’m trying to read gcf file by using obspy.read but for some of my files (see the attached example) the obspy shows the following error:
“NotImplementedError: Extended textual headers are supported yet. Please contact the developers.”
If anyone had such a problem before and have a solution for it, I would be really appreciated to share it with me.
Regards,
Meysam

Hi Meysam,
ObsPy for some reason thinks this is a SEG-Y file and parsing it of course fails - I’ll investigate why this happens.
For now you can force the format and ObsPy is able to read it:
obspy.read(“./20150825_1700z.gcf”, format=“gcf”)

Note that support for GCF files is not yet part of the last released version 1.0.3. You’ll have to update to the latest developer version of ObsPy to get it. If you need assistance in that regard please join our chat room here: Cheers! Lion
