[pyngl-talk] netcdf4-python vs PyNIO, was: xray et al (PyNIO, pandas, R)

[Oleksandr Huziy]

Hi:

just dropping my 2 cents...

*netcdf4-python*
1. For me netcdf4-python is much easier to install
2. netcdf4-python can read multiple files as if it was only one file
MFDataset("prefix*.nc")
3. Very easy to deal with dates
4. I've never checked the benefits, but it can exploit cython if installed..


*pynio*
1. Can read many formats in addition to netcdf


As you can see I do not have much experience with pynio mainly because I
use netcdf4-python more ...
I would like to see if someone has compared their performance?


Cheers
