The PnetCDF team has been working on developing the Python interface
to PnetCDF library since past year.

We are happy now to announce the first release candidate of PnetCDF-Python.
a Python package for accessing NetCDF files in parallel. Our design goal
is to provide MPI-based parallel python programs to achieve a scalable I/O
performance.

Pre-lease v.1.0.0.pre is available for downloading at
<a href="https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/Parallel-NetCDF/PnetCDF-Python/releases__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bKeZZp38F1jtSFp_lagLyKRFseDmm_LXz89OkOEG4gf3DZREddk07coV9v1DbV2wdvdvuTzL8Bl4dITep6WXIj2rpNiummo$">https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/Parallel-NetCDF/PnetCDF-Python/releases__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bKeZZp38F1jtSFp_lagLyKRFseDmm_LXz89OkOEG4gf3DZREddk07coV9v1DbV2wdvdvuTzL8Bl4dITep6WXIj2rpNiummo$</a>

Installation instructions can be found in README.md of the project
repository page at <a href="https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/Parallel-NetCDF/PnetCDF-Python__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bKeZZp38F1jtSFp_lagLyKRFseDmm_LXz89OkOEG4gf3DZREddk07coV9v1DbV2wdvdvuTzL8Bl4dITep6WXIj2rNjNjaVk$">https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/Parallel-NetCDF/PnetCDF-Python__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bKeZZp38F1jtSFp_lagLyKRFseDmm_LXz89OkOEG4gf3DZREddk07coV9v1DbV2wdvdvuTzL8Bl4dITep6WXIj2rNjNjaVk$</a>

Other user documents are also available there, including
* User Guide
* Example python programs
* A high-level comparison of PnetCDF-python and NetCDF4-python

Please feel free to contact us by sending emails to this mailing list
or creating github issues. All feedbacks are welcomed.
