As we are at it, Andre Gosselin (the guy who wrote pycdf) also wrote an interface to HDF4 (not 5) named pyhdf. I'm using that with numpy as well (patch attached), but I haven't tested it much - little more than just running the examples, really (which appear to be ok). Maybe it's useful... In pyhdf, the author didn't support different array interfaces; so the attached patch just modifes the existing source code and moves it over to numpy. I've also attached a "install script" which makes use of the particular lacotion of the HDF4 libraries (in $PREFIX/lib) and header files (in $PREFIX/include/hdf), so it it almost certainly needs to be adapted to the location of the actual HDF libraries and headers.

Dear list,
attached is a patch for the original pycdf-0.6.2-rc1 distribution as available through sourceforge - and a little shell script illustrating how to install it. After applyng the patch, it should be configured for numpy. Note that the "installation" script uses an environment variable PREFIX to define where the pacjkage is installed; it also assumes that the netcdf libraries are installed in $PREFIX/lib.
The orginal author already supported both numeric and numarray, so I just added a new subdirectory for numpy - which is simply the numeric version slightly changed. The patch is only that large because it replicates much of already existing code...
I have been using this "port" for many weeks now without any problems or difficulties. I hope it's useful for others as well;-)
Christian.

Hi Travis,
If you're still offering NumPy "patches" to third party packages that rely upon Numeric, I would really like for pycdf to be ported to NumPy. This would allow me to completely transition to NumPy.
Thanks very much for considering my request.
