[python #QOU-764758]: Writing int attributes with Python netCDF4 ?



Hi,

The easiest way is to use the NumPy type corresponding to what you want, in 
this case numpy.int32:

    from netCDF4 import Dataset
    import numpy as np
    nc = Dataset('test3.nc', 'w')
    nc.myattr = np.int32(5)
    nc.close()

    nc = Dataset('test3.nc')
    print(type(nc.myattr))  # Prints "numpy.int32"


Hope this helps,

Ryan
