What steps will reproduce the problem? - python setup-nc3.py install What is the expected output? What do you see instead? - Did not finish install, lengthy error output instead:

• Windows XP
• Python 2.5 (numpy1.0.4 installed and working)
• NetCDF 3.6.2 Please provide any additional information below. - NETCDF3_DIR environment variable is set
• import scientific.IO.NetCDF does work
• Cygwin (but not Cygwin Python) installed. It is not being used here, but
  it has created issues in the past.
• Using this GCC binary: http://www.develer.com/oss/GccWinBinaries - The first line of output is a warning:
  C:\Python25\lib\distutils\dist.py:263: UserWarning: Unknown
  distribution option: 'summary'

Not sure where the problem might lie. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Me again. I was able to successfully run the setup-nc3.py script by temporarily
replacing line 278 in distutils\unixcompiler.py:
compiler = os.path.basename(sysconfig.get_config_var("CC"))

with:
compiler = "gcc"

Not very elegant, but it seems to have worked. It looks like the configuration
variable "CC" had not yet been defined, so I specified it myself. I haven't come
across this problem setting up other packages, but I am new to Python so I can't say
if it is specific to this package or not.

It's not specific to that python package. I tried to do the same thing with
pygraphviz and got the same error; your fix did the trick, so thanks!

I think you could also do

"python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32" if you have the mingw gcc compiler.
