[netcdfgroup] netCDF4-Python and user-defined compression filters

Dear all,

I am wondering if the netCDF4-python API supports HDF5 compression filters, as 
the netCDF-C API does. I was given a compressed netCDF file and the 
corresponding compression filter library to uncompress it. Ncdump has been able 
to read the data after installing the filter, but I am having problems to do it 
from the python interface. The netcdf4 python module was installed with pip 
using the nc-config from the netCDF installation capable of uncompressing. 
Accessing a compressed variable returns a Segmentation fault. Is there a 
particular way to open compressed files? Are user-defined compression filters 
supported?

Thanks!
Cheers,
Joaquín
