pyhdf is a fork of python-hdf4 with some improvements:
- Reusing the original project name.
- Windows build can use the latest (4.2.10) HDF4 library form The HDF Group.
- Testing against Anaconda.
pyhdf is a python wrapper around the latest HDF version 4 library. The SD (Scientific Dataset), VS (Vdata) and V (Vgroup) APIs are currently implemented. netCDF files can also be read and modified.
To install, see file INSTALL.rst.
