Package: python-netcdf Version: 2.4.9-2 Severity: important It is possible to install python-netcdf via apt-get without installing python-scientific, but python-netcdf will not work without python-scientific installed. The example code in /usr/share/doc/python-netcdf/examples/netcdf_demo.py does not run, and the particular problem can also be seen by just trying to import from Scientific.IO.NetCDF:
>>> from Scientific.IO.NetCDF import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named Scientific.IO.NetCDF Installing python-scientific manually resolves the issue.
