Re: [Numpy-discussion] Request for porting pycdf to NumPy
Yep, I was referring to: http://pysclint.sourceforge.net/pycdf/ Regarding the issue of deciding which netCDF interface to adopt as the "standard", although it is unlikely we'll ever get consensus on this, I have tried several of the netCDF interfaces, including the one in Scientific, and have found that pycdf is the "cleanest"; it is very easy to use and understand.

I presume it's this one: http://pysclint.sourceforge.net/pycdf/
I have been using Jeff Whitaker's netcdf4 interface with good results. I could not find the web page for it on a NOAA site--I think NOAA is reorganizing--but a search turned it up here. Maybe Jeff can provide a better link. http://netcdf4-python.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/netCDF4-module.html Eric Daran Rife wrote:

Eric: Yep, that's a link to the docs from the google code homepage http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/ AFAIK, this is the only one of the python interfaces that supports both the netcdf version 3 API and the new (still in alpha) version 4 API, which is built on top of HDF5. As far as getting unidata to support or bless an 'official' python interface, that's not going to happen. They barely have enough staff to support the C, fortran and Java interfaces. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

+1 for Whitaker's package. The new location of the package is: http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/ I use netcdf for everything I do, and so I checked out all of the packages in detail. All follow a similar API, although there are very minor differences that will catch you if you are not careful (like writing a single character). Although this is (austensibly) made for netcdf4, Whitaker's package works well both reading and writing netcdf3 files. It also has support for stitching together multiple files. It also has support for compression of numpy4 data (as well as all of the other cool netcdf4 features). The only disadvantage is that netcdf4 is a bit harder to install than netcdf3 -- primarily because the user must first install hdf. However, recent versions work fine on all the platforms I use (Mac and Redhat). Clearly this is the way to go. -Rob On Feb 9, 2007, at 1:19 PM, Eric Firing wrote:

+1 for this one for the same reason. I have tried two or three different ones and pycdf was by far the easiest to use. Niklas Volbers.
