Hi Ryan,
I'm quite new to Python so I may not provide exactly what you asked for
just due to my own ignorance. If you need more traceback info, please let
me know.
What I found is that I can run your example script without error. However,
if I simply change the order of the import statements and place h5py before
netCDF4, I get an error similar to what I was seeing in my own code. Here's
the traceback info printed to the screen:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ucar_test.py", line 12, in <module>
var[:] = np.arange(200.).reshape(10, 20)
File "netCDF4/_netCDF4.pyx", line 4950, in
netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable.__setitem__
File "netCDF4/_netCDF4.pyx", line 5229, in netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable._put
File "netCDF4/_netCDF4.pyx", line 1887, in
netCDF4._netCDF4._ensure_nc_success
RuntimeError: NetCDF: HDF error
I'll try to be more specific than before about my own environment...
CentOS 7
Pip virtual environment using Python 3.6.4
Installed h5py (2.10.0) and netCDF4 (1.5.3) using pip
I compiled the HDF5 (1.10.6) and netCDF4 (4.7.3) libraries from source and
are installed locally
and pointed to using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment var. netCDF4 was
compiled pointing to the HDF5 lib I compiled so I believe everything's
using the same libhdf5.
Thanks,
Aaron
