I am trying to read an HDF4 file with my Anaconda python distributions on 64-bit Windows 7. I have tried to do a conda install of both the pyhdf and pyNio packages, but Anaconda seems to find neither. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this? I tried to add conda.binstar.org/mutirri to my .condarc file, but conda says it still can't find the packages....thanks!
We updated pyHDF source to create Anaconda distribution for Windows 7 that works with the latest HDF4:

You can find 32-bit version.
We also provide instruction for building one on Windows so you can try it for 64-bit version.
