== Imported Ticket ==

• Summary: Rewrite SWIG interface for PyHDF
• Component: yt
• Milestone: 1.0
• Reporter: mturk
• Owner: mturk
• **Resolution: wontfix
• Status: closed
• Created: 1189203175000000
• Description: Right now, pyhdf_np is a modified version of pyhdf, but modified =after= the SWIG-wrapper has been generated. This should be changed, such that it is in fact a Numpyified SWIG utility.

Assuming we have a version 1.0 release, I do not foresee HDF4 being supported past 1.0. So this ticket may ultimately be resolved as "dontfix."
