[netCDF #EGH-664485]: NetCDF-Python

Hi Mamun,

That particular package is no longer developed or supported by NOAA.
Its status is described here:

  http://gfesuite.noaa.gov/AWIPS/ob7.2a/

There are several Python netCDF packages that are being actively maintained
and developed, as we list here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/software.html#Python

We have been using and recommend Jeff Whitaker's netcdf4-python software:

  https://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/

but the other packages at the URL above may also be good and suit your 
purposes for use with GMT.
