236595831 MDU6SXNzdWUyMzY1OTU4MzE= 1459 xarray.Dataset from existing netCDF4.Dataset 221526 closed 0     2 2017-06-16T21:03:21Z 2017-08-31T17:18:51Z 2017-08-31T17:18:51Z CONTRIBUTOR      

It would be really handy to be able to initialize a xarray.Dataset instance from an already opened instance of netCDF4.Dataset. I have a lot of code where I'm already returning an opened netCDF4 file and this would streamline the process of hooking xarray into that.

It seems like the quick solution here would be to make NetCDF4DataStore accept a netCDF4.Dataset instance as filename, which would bypass the creation of a new instance. Thoughts?
