RE:Bug#778417: ITP: netcdf-python -- python interface to the netCDF4 (network Common Data Form) library
Hello, I am the maintainer of python-scientific
> How does this differ from the existing python-netcdf package?
I CC the upstream autor of python-scientific, maybe he can clarify this point
but before a question to the netcdf4-python guyes.
Does netcdf4-python will support python3 ?
@Konrad do you think that this netcdf implementation from scientific python could be replace by this
netcdf4-python implementation ? Should we get rid of your implentation and use this one instead (to be clear)
It would be nice if at the end only one implementation could be kept and maintain.
Cheers
Frederic
