Assignment 2d numpy array to 3d variable with first dimension of length 1 has changed behavior #919
Description
In version 1.5.1 the following code errors:
We are assigning a shape (100, 100) array to a (1, 100, 100) variable.
Not sure if this is supposed to work but it did in the past.
import netCDF4
import numpy as np
with netCDF4.Dataset('test.nc','w') as f:
f.createDimension('time',1)
f.createDimension('lat',100)
f.createDimension('lon',100)
f.createVariable('v1',np.float,('time', 'lon','lat',))
arr = np.arange(100*100).reshape((100, 100))
f['v1'][:] = arr File "01-160948.py", line 11, in <module>
f['v1'][:] = arr
File "netCDF4/_netCDF4.pyx", line 4796, in netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable.__setitem__

datashapenew = datashapenew + (datashape[i],)
IndexError: tuple index out of range
It works up to version 1.5.0.1
