write data to existing file?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, I'm trying to edit the valus in an existing netcdf file, and write them 
back to the same file. I've read that netcdf4 is meant to be "clobbering", but 
it doesn't appear to be working in my case. I was expecting it to work as 
described in Issue 109, 
http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/issues/detail?id=109 . Am I missing 
something obvious?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.I read in the existing file and modify a variable
file=netCDF4.Dataset('new_data.pval','r+')
file.variables['pressure'][1]=7
file.close()
2. I Reload the file to see if the variable has changed
test=netCDF4.Dataset('new_data.pval','r')
print file.variables['pressure'][1]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected, 7.0.
instead, the original value.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
python2.6, netCDF4-1.0.8, netcdf-4.3.1, SUSE Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.
Also tried modifying all data in a variable 
i.e.file.variables['pressure'][:]=Newpressure. The file.variable['pressure'] 
has the correct values in the python interface but it is not written to the 
file.

After some additional debugging, I located a missing bracket in my original 
code.
The attached error was not working because print was pointing to the wrong 
variable.
This issue is solved. please remove it.
