Hello, Is there any interest out to read data as masked array if a netcdf file variable contains appropriate filled_value attribute or if asked explicitly using scipy.io.netcdf_file? Right now, I use netcdf4-python's Dataset constructor to read bunch of variables, and I was planning to replace it with netcdf_file module. However, I see that netcdf_file cannot automatically construct masked arrays from the file. I only read from netcdf files, not writing, so this would eliminate an external dependency to run my script. Thanks. -- Gökhan
