Feel free to submit a PR with a work around for xarray if using the scipy backend is not a good alternative for you.,"{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,275744315

If desired, we probably could pretty easily add a work around for this behavior (e.g., to create an empty numpy array of the appropriate shape) to our netCDF4-python wrapper:

My guess is that netCDF4 may not handle indexing on zero-dimensional arrays properly.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,275744315
