Michael:  The NetCDFFile function was deprecated a few releases back, and recently removed.  If you have netcdf4-python installed you can do

from netCDF4 import Dataset as NetCDFFile

and the script should work as before.

Regarding the second error, you must open the file for write access
    (mode='w') if you want to add attributes to the data variables.

Making some progress. Following here:

http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/wiki/UbuntuInstall

I've installed HDF5 after installing build-essential package. With just gcc installed I got an error.

The ./configure in netcdf4 directory failed, but completed with --disable-netcdf-4. I went ahead anyway hoping I don't need netCDF-4 formats or the additional netCDF-4 functions. Besides that issue, what's also not clear is where is setup.py file for the last step. It is not in the netcdf directory after the make install finished.  I assume netcdf-python package will not conflict with the python-netcdf and netcdf versions installed through package manager.

Got sidetracked with an OS issue. Back on the case.  Where is the setup.py file I'm to install?  I've installed both HDF5 and netcdf-4, correctly I hope.
