h5py can read file-like objects now, so I agree that there is less need for this.

That said, if pyfive ever does support dimension scales, we would still welcome adding it as a backend for h5netcdf.

Very nice! In that case I'll reopen this in case someone would like to give it a shot. We're all about supporting pure Python implementations of file formats over here...

Totally up to you! I think it could be an interesting mini-project, and might even be useful for cases where it's hard to install HDF5. On Wed, Mar 3, 2021...

Perhaps the fix in https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python/pull/727 would be relevant here?

@ecolell That looks like a handy library -- but perhaps you should give it a more specific name? That would be less confusing.

CC @WardF, because I think this is a bug in netCDF-C. I was able to reproduce this with netCDF-C v4.4.0 installed.

OK, this is more impressive than I thought. Nice work @matthew-brett !

This is possible with the scipy.io.netcdf library, but not with this package. I know that there is interest in adding this to the official netCDF C-library, but to my knowledge...

@MGSL probably best to ask the Unidata developers over in #406 (this issue is a duplicate of that one).
