python-netcdf: Should depend on python-scientific

[Ivan Vilata i Balaguer]

Package: python-netcdf
Version: 2.4.9-2ubuntu1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi all.  This version of the ``python-netcdf`` package should depend on
``python-scientific``, since the NetCDF package is useless without it::

  ivan[X]rampella:~$ python
  Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 22:23:39) 
  [GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import Scientific.IO.NetCDF
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  ImportError: No module named Scientific.IO.NetCDF
  >>> 
  ivan[X]rampella:~$ 

The ``Scientific_netcdf.so`` is just dropped under
``site-packages/Scientific/linux2`` without ``__init__.py`` nor PTH
files, so it can not be imported as a module.  In contrast, when
``python-scientific`` is installed, all the needed files are in place
and the module can be imported without problems::

  ivan[X]rampella:~$ python
  Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 22:23:39) 
  [GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import Scientific.IO.NetCDF
  >>> 
  ivan[X]rampella:~$ 

Now, one more thing I don't understant so well is that
``python-scientific`` contains a
``site-packages/Scientific/IO/NetCDF.py`` file. :-/

Thanks!
