hello groupi currently use matlab for data visualization and from obvious economic reasons consider moving to python. the main thing that stops me is the interface to netcdf files. in matlab i currently use this:(http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/15177) function to read the files. it saves alot of times since it reads the hole netcdf file at once converting it to structured array.my question is is there a python equivalent?
Yair: I've developed a python interface (http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python). However, it doesn't read the whole dataset in automatically. Most users would not like that, since many netcdf datasets would exceed the available memory on most machines.
