[MMTK] How to create new NetCDF file from template?

[Jose Borreguero]

Dear MMTK users,

I want to create a fresh new NetCDF file with the same structure as some
existing NetCDF file. I have trouble cloning the variables:

*def cloneNetCDF(outfile,template):
    pin=NetCDFFile(template, 'r')   #this is the existing file
    pout=NetCDFFile(outfile, 'w')    #this is the new file
    for name,size in pin.dimensions: pout.createDimension(name,size)
    for name,var in template.variables: I-have-no-clue()*
  * return pout*

Could anyone point me as how to clone the variables?
