[Live-demo] Python for Oceanographers example, Iris fix

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Brian,

I assume from the thread title that you fixed this? 
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1285
Or perhaps you propose to maintain those libraries under the Iris project?
And who will be the maintainer for docs etc?

Cheers,
Angelos
