The ecCodes library is now v2.26.0. Can I ask why your library version is so old?
Version 2.20.0 is from January 2021

It is typical to use packaged linux distributions for containerized development. Ubuntu Impish (21.04) is a very common container environment, and is the one that my company's ML deployment platform is based on. EcCodes 2.20 is the package version available in the Ubuntu repositories for Ubuntu Impish.

This situation is very common for people who wish to use packages but not build them.

I have run into the same issue. Writing warnings to stdout via print messes up the output of tools that import eccodes. Writing via the Python standardlib warnings module would make the warnings appear on stderr (by default), which would also allow for shell redirection.

Pointing to newer versions of eccodes does not really address the issue.

I have fixed this (check my develop branch)
