This software provides a Python/Numpy interface to the netCDF library for versions 3 and 4.
The software comes with many of the new features of netCDF 4 such as multiple unlimited dimensions, groups, and zlib data compression. All the new numeric data types such as 64 bit and unsigned integer types are supported. It also supports compound and variable length (vlen) data types. However, it is important to note that the enum and opaque data types are not supported. Mixture of compound and vlen data types such as compound types containing vlens, and vlens containing compound types are also not supported.
One of the biggest advantages of netCDF version 4 is the Subversion repository that provides access to the most up-to-date source. Overall, netCDF version 4 is a compelling choice for users looking for an advanced library with many new features not found in earlier versions.
