You need to also install the python development package (python-dev), which contains the headers.

OK basemap installed.  Thanks. But I'm getting an error running a script that worked with previous installation(s) of python, matplotlib, and basemap. The error:

user@comsys:~>python map2_TempDiff_4panels.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "map2_TempDiff_4panels.py", line 27, in <module>
    from mpl_toolkits.basemap import  NetCDFFile
ImportError: cannot import name NetCDFFile


I installed python-mpltoolkits.basemap from package manager, before testing my script.

MR


An update:  My test script, which works with previously, now gets past the header initializations. Here they are:

import sys,getopt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap, shiftgrid, cm 
#from mpl_toolkits.basemap import  NetCDFFile
from Scientific.IO.NetCDF import NetCDFFile
from pylab import *
import  matplotlib.pyplot as plt


Notr clear why the first import NetCDFFile statement does not work. Farther down the script, the code stops on this statement:

data.missing_value=-9.99

There error to standard output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "map2_TempDiff_4panels.py", line 266, in <module>
    data.missing_value=-9.99
IOError: netcdf: write access to read-only file
