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. This bug was also
found in Ubuntu, and reported in http://launchpad.net/bugs/5950
