Chris,
Awesome. I grabbed your win32 executable for Python 2.6
netCDF4-0.9.6.win32-py2.6.exe
ran it, and now Python(x,y) can access data from OPeNDAP using NetCDF4!
>>> import netCDF4
>>> nc =
>>> netCDF4.Dataset('http://megara.tamu.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/mch_outputs/ngom_24h/mch_his_ngom_24h_2008.nc')
>>> nc
<netCDF4.Dataset object at 0x02A588F0>
>>> salt = nc.variables['salt'][1, :, 25, 60]
>>> salt
array([ 35.30977631, 35.30978775, 35.30978394, 35.30976486,
35.30973434, 35.30968094, 35.3095665 , 35.30927658,
35.30861664, 35.3080864 , 35.30773926, 35.30751038,
35.30738449, 35.30732346, 35.30728531, 35.30726624,
35.30725479, 35.30724335, 35.3072319 , 35.30722046,
35.30721664, 35.30720901, 35.3072052 , 35.3072052 ,
35.3072052 , 35.3072052 , 35.30720901, 35.30721283,
35.30721664, 35.30722809], dtype=float32)

Fantastic!
Thank you so much for the great service you are providing to the community!
