Description
The h5py library serves as a user-friendly interface for the HDF5 binary data format in Python. It allows users to handle vast quantities of numerical data and efficiently work with it alongside NumPy. For instance, you can access and manipulate multi-terabyte datasets stored on your disk as if they were standard NumPy arrays. You can organize thousands of datasets within a single file, applying your own categorization and tagging methods. H5py embraces familiar NumPy and Python concepts, such as dictionary and array syntax. For example, it enables you to loop through datasets in a file or examine the .shape and .dtype properties of those datasets. Getting started with h5py requires no prior knowledge of HDF5, making it accessible for newcomers. Besides its intuitive high-level interface, h5py is built on an object-oriented Cython wrapper for the HDF5 C API, ensuring that nearly any operation possible in C with HDF5 can also be performed using h5py. This combination of simplicity and power makes it a popular choice for data handling in the scientific community.
Description
The xlrd library is designed for developers looking to extract data from .xls files, which are a type of Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This tool specifically focuses on reading data and the formatting details contained within these older Excel file formats. It's important to note that xlrd is limited to handling only .xls files moving forward. The library does not process features such as charts, macros, images, or any other embedded elements, including additional worksheets, VBA modules, or formulas, though it can retrieve the results of formula evaluations, comments, hyperlinks, and various filters such as auto, advanced, and pivot tables, as well as conditional formatting and data validation. Unfortunately, password-protected files cannot be accessed or read with this library. When using xlrd from the command line, users can view the first, second, and last rows of each sheet contained within the specified files. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that xlrd is distributed under the BSD license, providing certain freedoms for developers to utilize and modify the library as needed.
