Hi: There are a couple of new github issues that are potential C library bugs discovered by python users. 1) netCDF4 cannot read from little-endian HDF4 files (https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/113): If an HDF4 file is created with little endian data, the netcdf c library fails to read it (ncdump says "NetCDF: Bad type ID.") 2) endian-ness flag not saved in file for float data types (https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/112): If a float variable is created with a specified endian-ness, 'ncdump -s' shows that the _Endianness attribute is not set. It is with integer variables though. Regards, Jeff ------ Jeffrey S.
