[netcdfgroup] problems between netcdf and scientific python

[Rob Hetland]

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.
