NetCDF-Java Folk,

Is there a way to access the neat stuff in NetCDF-Java from Python?
My colleague Rob Hetland is interested in extending Pycdf with higher level CF-functionality that would determine what the coordinate variables are, time conventions, vertical coordinates, etc.
He could do all the logic in Pycdf, perhaps stealing some code from the CF-checker (which is in python) but is there a way to utilize the NetCDF-Java library where much of this logic has already been coded?
If there was a way to do this, it would allow him to access all the higher level functionality built into the existing nj22 and harness the future development of NetCDF-Java as well. 

Thanks,
Rich
