Dead project? #1

Open bernd-wechner opened 3 years ago

Status Alpha, last touched in 2016. Project looks dead before it reached Beta. Correct? Just checking to see if it migrated elsewhere. It's a brilliant idea, I love the intro. To be be honest was just fishing around for Python package that could read CDL format files (as I can export CDLS using Panoply) but found this and was momentarily excited ...

So the story of the project is I made a basic working version, but then stopped having a reason to use for it in my everyday. If I remember correctly it should work for most purposes, I just never got around to using it extensively or doing more thorough testing or documentation. There might be some additional info here: https://thepythongischallenge.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/pynetcdf-netcdf-files-in-pure-python/.

So in practice I guess it has been dead, but I definitely want to get back to finalizing it, especially if there's a use-case for it. If you are thinking of using it, I do think it should work, and I'll see what I can do to help. So if I'm understanding, you're looking for a CDF reader, and NetCDF files is just a limited subset of the broader CDF format, is that about right? Would it have to be expanded to a more general CDF reader to be of use?
