Oh excellent, thanks for the clarification Stephan!

However, if one of the variables has the same name as one of the groups (which I think is permitted in the netCDF format), then there is no easy way to access all the elements whilst retaining the nice syntax.

NetCDF does not allow variables and groups with the same name, e..g,

import netCDF4 nc = netCDF4.Dataset('testing.nc', 'w')nc.createVariable('foo', float)nc.createGroup('foo')# RuntimeError: NetCDF: String match to name in use

I'm pretty sure this is also prohibited for all HDF5 files, just like how you can't have a directory and file with the same name on most filesystems.
