There is no such thing as "the netCDF4 variable" in Python -- it is not a built-in part of the language, and therefore there is no built-in feature for manipulating it. You are going to have to be more specific about what you want than just "how do I modify a variable with for loops?". My wild guess is that you have some sort of config file which includes a field called "netCDF4" and you want to update it in place. We can't tell you how to do this without knowing what the config file is -- is it an INI file, XML, JSON, YAML, Unix-style rc file, a binary pickle, or something else? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
