time2index assumes time variable of length > 1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a time variable of length 1
2. call time2index with the time variable and any timestamp
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- Expected: result of 0 as the index

- Instead an error occurs:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/netcdftime.py", line 1104, in time2index
    t0, t1 = nctime[:2]
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Netcdf4 1.0.4 , Linux Mint 14

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems the time2index function assumes the time variable is of length 2 or 
more. Although a bit of a corner case, it would be nice if it would handle a 
single time index value properly

Would you mind creating a self contained script that triggers this error?

No problem. I extracted a small test script from my code that triggers the 
error.

Note that it also shows it _does_ work if the time variable is of length 2.

Let me know if you need any more input.
