  Description     : a Python library implementing the Data Access Protocol

Long-Description:
 Pydap is an implementation of the Opendap/DODS protocol, written from
 scratch. You can use Pydap to access scientific data on the internet
 without having to download it; instead, you work with special array and
 iterable objects that download data on-the-fly as necessary, saving
 bandwidth and time. The module also comes with a robust-but-lightweight
 Opendap server, implemented as a WSGI application.

This package is an optional dependency to the hdf-compass.
