problems between netcdf and scientific python

[vale_cn\@libero\.it]

Hello,
we are trying to install netcdf library and scientific python on a AMD64 with Fedora7. To check if they interact we have run the python script:

from Scientific.IO.NetCDF import NetCDF

but we obtain the following error:

[***@papa001169 ScientificPython-2.7.8]# python prova.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "prova.py", line 3, in <module>
from Scientific.IO.NetCDF import NetCDF
File "/home/Valeria/Desktop/ScientificPython-2.7.8/Scientific/IO/NetCDF.py", line 165, in <module>
from Scientific_netcdf import *
ImportError: No module named Scientific_netcdf

Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Valeria

It appears that this package hasn't been installed. You would do this
by typing

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

at the top level of the package. However, you should know that
scientific has been deprecated, as it uses the older Numeric package.
The standard numerical python package is now numpy. See

http://www.scipy.org

To read in netcdf using numpy, I would use the netcdf4-python package:

netcdf4-python.googlecode.com/

This package also has netcdf3 support, if you don't want to install
netcdf4, and uses the same API as the Scientific netcdf package.

Has anybody gotten NetCDF to work on an Intel Mac with the Absoft
compiler?

Try setting up your computer thusly:

FC=/Applications/Absoft10/bin/f90
CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran
F77=/Applications/Absoft10/bin/f90
FFLAGS=-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_
FCFLAGS=-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_
FCFLAGS_F90=-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_
