Would you mind updating to version 0.9.1 to see if this bug still exists in the newer version?

In fact it's not an issue.

Mean I try to assign an attribute with the method: rootgrp.WEST-EAST_GRID_DIMENSION = 5 which is unusable in this particular case.
But the method rootgrp.setncattr('WEST-EAST_GRID_DIMENSION', 5) do exactly what I need.

Feel sorry for that. It just need to read the doc carefully.

This one should be probably closed... minus sign in the code is considered as an operation, so python objects cannot have '-' in the field names...
