AFAIK CDF is much simpler than NetCDF.  If you do generate CDF 
files and want other common tools to understand your data 
structures, use the ISTP metadata scheme:

Since deimos.cdf just provides C bindings and type safety, a 
higher level module would be nicer.  Currently, the most natural 
interface to CDF files that I've used is the spacepy.pycdf python 
package.
