Re: How to Create an Unlimited Time Dimension

Hi Greg,

Check out: http://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Nio.shtml

create_dimension(name, length)

Creates a new dimension with the given name and length. length must be a
positive integer or None, which stands for the unlimited dimension. Note
that currently there can be only one unlimited dimension in a file.

PS. For python and netcdf, check out:
