Based on the traceback, I'd say it's because you're trying to replace the object pointed to by the .data attribute. Instead, try to just change the bits contained in .data: basic.data['Air_Temp'].data[:] = np.ones(len(basic.data['Air_Temp']))*30 Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
