Hi all,
I'm quite new to python and I had many problems installing netcdf4-python.

I have installed netcdf, hdf5, szlib, zlib
And I try to install netcdf4-python with:
python setup.py install
running install
running build
running config_cc
unifing config_cc, config, build_clib, build_ext, build commands 
--compiler options
running config_fc
unifing config_fc, config, build_clib, build_ext, build commands 
--fcompiler options
running build_src
building py_modules sources
building extension "netCDF4" sources
running build_py
running build_ext
No module named msvccompiler in numpy.distutils; trying from distutils
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible 
binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin 
installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

Anyway, I have installed pupynere (with the tar.gz)
With the egg Do I just have to run "easy-install pupinere.egg" ?
And when I tried to test it with this line:

|>>> from pupynere import NetCDFFile
>>> f = nc('example.nc', 'w')
|

It failed with:
NameError: name 'nc' is not defined
May be the documentation in http://dealmeida.net/2008/07/14/pupynere is old

But when I tried:
f = netcdf_file('test.nc', 'r')
print f.history
time = f.variables['time'][:]
lat = f.variables['lat'][:]

Everything works fine
Regards
Ludovic
