Created: December 23, 2025
Purpose: Complete standalone Python implementation of SOPRA Grapholita funebrana model
✅ Core Functions: grapholita_fun_utils.py (33KB, 22 functions)
✅ Utilities: sopra_meteo_utils.py (9KB, data processing functions)
✅ Configuration: stations.txt (station metadata)

✅ Data Format: Tab-separated .std files (compatible with original Pascal SOPRA)
✅ Coverage: All major Swiss meteorological stations for 2024
✅ Pascal Reference: gfu_all_years.csv (6.4MB, multi-year Pascal results)
✅ Validation System: Complete Python vs Pascal comparison framework
✅ Proven Accuracy: Maximum differences < 1e-6 (excellent precision)
✅ Demo Notebook: SOPRA_Demo.ipynb (complete walkthrough)
✅ README: Comprehensive usage guide with examples
✅ Verification: verify_package.py (package integrity checker)
