This is important to writing time arrays to file

bendudson commented 7 years ago

Is this necessary? I agree it would be nice, but it would also complicate things quite a bit.

Dataset is aware of the unlimited dimension. Maybe use that directly: from netCDF4 import Dataset

d7919 commented 7 years ago

Is there an equivalent for the other supported netcdf modules?
