netCDF4-python grid coordinates CDO failure

I am using netCDF4-python to create netCDF4 files.

To create a dimensional variable:

createDimension
createVariable

To create other variables:

createVariable(dset.name, dset.dtype, dims)

It works well with panoply or ncdump, but when examined with

cdo sinfo

Grid coordinates shows "generic" instead of "lonlat", and unsurprisingly cdo cant subset the dataset:

cdo sellonlatbox (Abort): Unsupported grid type!

Does anyone here know the solution? Thanks,

Can you reproduce it with a [minimal working example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve)? – Bart Jul 08 '17 at 11:30
Also please share cdo version you are using. – kakk11 Jul 08 '17 at 12:10
cdo version: 1.6.8 – Jay Jul 10 '17 at 13:05
I will try. The issue is, the file created by netCDF4-python does not have the lonlat grid required by CDO. – Jay Jul 10 '17 at 13:09
