Folks,
Most folks on Windows systems who want to do scientific computing in
Python will use the Enthought distribution
(http://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php) or the Python(x,y)
distribution (http://www.pythonxy.com).
Both include the wonderful NetCDF4-python library
(http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/), but sadly, neither one has
the built-in opendap support that is possible with NetCDF4. (The
Enthought packages for Linux and Mac *do* have OPeNDAP support in the
NetCDF4 library, just not on Windows).
I know there are other ways to get opendap support in Python, but it
seems like this should be relatively easy fix. In the Python(x,y)
distribution, I see these .dlls:
HDF5_HLDLL.DLL
HDF5DLL.DLL
NETCDF.DLL
SZ.DLL
ZLIB1.DLL
Has anyone solved this problem?
It would be great to get NetCDF4 working with OpenDAP for Python users
on Windows.
Thanks,
