"""
NetCDF reader/writer module.

This module is used to read and create NetCDF files. NetCDF files are
accessed through the `netcdf_file` object. Data written to and from NetCDF
files are contained in `netcdf_variable` objects. Attributes are given
as member variables of the `netcdf_file` and `netcdf_variable` objects.

This module implements the Scientific.IO.NetCDF API to read and create
NetCDF files. The same API is also used in the PyNIO and pynetcdf
modules, allowing these modules to be used interchangeably when working
with NetCDF files.

Only NetCDF3 is supported here; for NetCDF4 see
`netCDF4-python <http://unidata.github.io/netcdf4-python/>`__,
which has a similar API.

"""

# TODO:
# * properly implement ``_FillValue``.
# * fix character variables.
# * implement PAGESIZE for Python 2.6?

# The Scientific.IO.NetCDF API allows attributes to be added directly to
# instances of ``netcdf_file`` and ``netcdf_variable``. To differentiate
# between user-set attributes and instance attributes, user-set attributes
# are automatically stored in the ``_attributes`` attribute by overloading
#``__setattr__``. This is the reason why the code sometimes uses
#``obj.__dict__['key'] = value``, instead of simply ``obj.key = value``;
# otherwise the key would be inserted into userspace attributes.

class netcdf_file:
    """
    A file object for NetCDF data.

    A `netcdf_file` object has two standard attributes: `dimensions` and
    `variables`. The values of both are dictionaries, mapping dimension
    names to their associated lengths and variable names to variables,
    respectively. Application programs should never modify these
    dictionaries.

    All other attributes correspond to global attributes defined in the
    NetCDF file. Global file attributes are created by assigning to an
    attribute of the `netcdf_file` object.

    Parameters
    ----------
    filename : string or file-like
        string -> filename
    mode : {'r', 'w', 'a'}, optional
        read-write-append mode, default is 'r'
    mmap : None or bool, optional
        Whether to mmap `filename` when reading.  Default is True
        when `filename` is a file name, False when `filename` is a
        file-like object. Note that when mmap is in use, data arrays
        returned refer directly to the mmapped data on disk, and the
        file cannot be closed as long as references to it exist.
    version : {1, 2}, optional
        version of netcdf to read / write, where 1 means *Classic
        format* and 2 means *64-bit offset format*.  Default is 1.  See
        `here <https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/nug/current/netcdf_introduction.html#select_format>`__
        for more info.
    maskandscale : bool, optional
        Whether to automatically scale and/or mask data based on attributes.
        Default is False.

    Notes
    -----
    This module is derived from
    `pupynere <https://bitbucket.org/robertodealmeida/pupynere/>`_.
    The major advantage of this module over other modules is that it doesn't
    require the code to be linked to the NetCDF libraries. However, for a more
    recent version of the NetCDF standard and additional features, please consider
    the permissively-licensed
    `netcdf4-python <https://unidata.github.io/netcdf4-python/>`_.

    NetCDF files are a self-describing binary data format. The file contains
    metadata that describes the dimensions and variables in the file. More
    details about NetCDF files can be found `here
    <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/guide_toc.html>`__. There
    are three main sections to a NetCDF data structure:

    1. Dimensions
    2. Variables
    3. Attributes

    The dimensions section records the name and length of each dimension used
    by the variables. The variables would then indicate which dimensions it
    uses and any attributes such as data units, along with containing the data
    values for the variable. It is good practice to include a
    variable that is the same name as a dimension to provide the values for
    that axes. Lastly, the attributes section would contain additional
    information such as the name of the file creator or the instrument used to
    collect the data.

    When writing data to a NetCDF file, there is often the need to indicate the
    'record dimension'. A record dimension is the unbounded dimension for a
    variable. For example, a temperature variable may have dimensions of
    latitude, longitude and time. If one wants to add more temperature data to
    the NetCDF file as time progresses, then the temperature variable should
    have the time dimension flagged as the record dimension.

    In addition, the NetCDF file header contains the position of the data in
    the file, so access can be done in an efficient manner without loading
    unnecessary data into memory. It uses the ``mmap`` module to create
    Numpy arrays mapped to the data on disk, for the same purpose.

    Note that when `netcdf_file` is used to open a file with mmap=True
    (default for read-only), arrays returned by it refer to data
    directly on the disk. The file should not be closed, and cannot be cleanly
    closed when asked, if such arrays are alive. You may want to copy data arrays
    obtained from mmapped Netcdf file if they are to be processed after the file
    is closed, see the example below.

    Examples
    --------
    To create a NetCDF file:

    >>> from scipy.io import netcdf_file
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> f = netcdf_file('simple.nc', 'w')
    >>> f.history = 'Created for a test'
    >>> f.createDimension('time', 10)
    >>> time = f.createVariable('time', 'i', ('time',))
    >>> time[:] = np.arange(10)
    >>> time.units = 'days since 2008-01-01'
    >>> f.close()

    Note the assignment of ``arange(10)`` to ``time[:]``.  Exposing the slice
    of the time variable allows for the data to be set in the object, rather
    than letting ``arange(10)`` overwrite the ``time`` variable.

    To read the NetCDF file we just created:

    >>> from scipy.io import netcdf_file
    >>> f = netcdf_file('simple.nc', 'r')
    >>> print(f.history)
    b'Created for a test'
    >>> time = f.variables['time']
    >>> print(time.units)
    b'days since 2008-01-01'
    >>> print(time.shape)
    (10,)
    >>> print(time[-1])
    9

    NetCDF files, when opened read-only, return arrays that refer
    directly to memory-mapped data on disk:

    >>> data = time[:]

    If the data is to be processed after the file is closed, it needs
    to be copied to main memory:

    >>> data = time[:].copy()
    >>> del time
    >>> f.close()
    >>> data.mean()
    4.5

    A NetCDF file can also be used as context manager:

    >>> from scipy.io import netcdf_file
    >>> with netcdf_file('simple.nc', 'r') as f:
    ...     print(f.history)
    b'Created for a test'

class netcdf_variable:
    """
    A data object for netcdf files.

    `netcdf_variable` objects are constructed by calling the method
    `netcdf_file.createVariable` on the `netcdf_file` object. `netcdf_variable`
    objects behave much like array objects defined in numpy, except that their
    data resides in a file. Data is read by indexing and written by assigning
    to an indexed subset; the entire array can be accessed by the index ``[:]``
    or (for scalars) by using the methods `getValue` and `assignValue`.
    `netcdf_variable` objects also have attribute `shape` with the same meaning
    as for arrays, but the shape cannot be modified. There is another read-only
    attribute `dimensions`, whose value is the tuple of dimension names.

    All other attributes correspond to variable attributes defined in
    the NetCDF file. Variable attributes are created by assigning to an
    attribute of the `netcdf_variable` object.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array_like
        The data array that holds the values for the variable.
        Typically, this is initialized as empty, but with the proper shape.
    typecode : dtype character code
        Desired data-type for the data array.
    size : int
        Desired element size for the data array.
    shape : sequence of ints
        The shape of the array. This should match the lengths of the
        variable's dimensions.
    dimensions : sequence of strings
        The names of the dimensions used by the variable. Must be in the
        same order of the dimension lengths given by `shape`.
    attributes : dict, optional
        Attribute values (any type) keyed by string names. These attributes
        become attributes for the netcdf_variable object.
    maskandscale : bool, optional
        Whether to automatically scale and/or mask data based on attributes.
        Default is False.


    Attributes
    ----------
    dimensions : list of str
        List of names of dimensions used by the variable object.
    isrec, shape
