    3329pyhdf is a python wrapper around the NCSA HDF version 4 library. 
    3430The SD (Scientific Dataset), VS (Vdata) and V (Vgroup) API's  
    3531are currently implemented. netCDF files can also be  
    36 read and modified.  Functionality of version 0.7-4 is same 
     32read and modified.  Functionality of version 0.8 is same 
    3733as 0.7-3, but it uses NumPy package rather than Numeric. 
     34Version 0.8 also incorporates a parser for ODL (Object 
     35Description Language), a common format for the content 
     36of information in HDF files.  Note that the parser does 
     37not support the full ODL specification.
