I think something like this would be quite useful. This is most applicable to the Dataset and I can see a new method for printing this info. What would we call that method?

  • Pandas has a df.head and I think this is technically information stored in the header of the netcdf file, so ds.head() could work but pandas prints out some number of rows as well.
  • Maybe just ds.info() which is simple enough and self-explanatory, also no confusion with df.head() which returns a DataFrame.
  • I don't really like the *dump* alternatives since they will be pretty close to the pickle.dump.
