[Numpy-discussion] what python module to modify NetCDF data?

[Vicente Sole]

Hi,

I have never seen myself a NetCDF file but if your NetCDF file is  
using HDF5 as format (possible since NetCDF 4 if I am not mistaken),  
you should be able to use h5py or PyTables to access and or modify it.

Best regards,

Armando
