[puneetvrma]

pyhdf version: 0.10.5 HDF4 C library version: 4.2.15 Python version: 3.9.12

What operating system are you using?

Windows 10 x64

What did you do?

I am using pyhdf code from this example. http://hdfeos.org/zoo/MORE/LAADS/MOD/MOD04_L2_merge.py

However, it is giving me an error SD (7): Error opening file

The code works fine if I keep single file or a few files (less than 10) in the folder.

What did you expect to see?
