Issue with datetime

[fascani]

Hello, I finally succeeded to install everything (octant, pyproj, etc) but I am getting an issue about a comparison between datetime and an array when I performed the tests you provided. For instance:

In [1]: from test_rect import *
/Users/fascani/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/cbook.py:133: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: The matplotlib.delaunay module was deprecated in version 1.4. Use matplotlib.tri.Triangulation instead.
  warnings.warn(message, mplDeprecation, stacklevel=1)

In [2]: test_run_2d_ll()

     63             dates = nc.variables['ocean_time'][:] # don't stride here, need all times to make index determinations
---> 64             ilow = date >= dates
     65             # time index with time value just below datenum_in (relative to file ifile)
     66             istart = dates[ilow].size - 1

TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to numpy.ndarray

I see some workaround on the web like using np.less_than() or np.greater_than() functions instead but maybe you know the reason of that mistake.

Thanks

Ah! Thanks. I'll try to fix that now and get back to you.

Ok it is working for me now. What about for you?

[fascani]

It works for me as well! Thanks a bunch!
