Kamodo interpolation much slower than KameleonPlus Python wrapper interpolation

[asherp]

The kamodo wrapper for kameleon was meant as a stop gap until we have fully kamodofied interpolators for each of the kameleon-supported models. Since kameleon was compiled for python27, the kamodo interface was using a bridge to run a separate python27 executable.

Kamodo just wraps whatever interpolator you are using, so it should not be the bottleneck. most of the time, you're using scipy functions. For some models, though, you have an optimized Fortran or C interpolator that's unique to the model's data structure. The job of a kamodo subclass is to hide all the ugly interface stuff for the model or data source from the end user, so all they see is just the functional form of the interpolator.

Could you post a demo that shows how to use the new functions? The script I used previously no longer works b/c I think the API changed.

I'm also interested in a demo that shows how to use the SWMF IE readers.
