Hi Martin,

thanks for taking an interest in this!

I assume this is python 2.4.  In this case, yes, it is a python issue. 
2.4 isn't supported by current numpy (which is needed by gluemncbig) 
anymore, so I didn't think too much about it.  Are you sure this machine 
doesn't have a more recent python in a module or something?

I have a bunch of unorganized scripts that I'd be happy to share, and I 
would love to put together a more cleaned-up set of tools relating to 
MITgcm when I get around to it.  Any help on this would be greatly welcomed.
