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,
AFAICT EPD and Pythonxy repackage the content from the NetCDF4-python
windows installers at
<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#netcdf4>. I just updated
those builds with DAP support using the bsd-xdr-1.0.0 and curl-7.20.1
libraries.
