h5py Reviews

h5py Description

The h5py package provides a Pythonic interface for the HDF5 binary data format. It allows you to store large amounts of numerical data and allow you to easily manipulate that data using NumPy. You can cut into multi-terabyte datasets on disk as if they were NumPy arrays. You can store thousands of datasets in one file. You can categorize and tag them however you like. H5py makes use of simple NumPy and Python metaphors like dictionary syntax and NumPy array syntax. You can, for example, iterate over files or examine the.shape and.dtype attributes of data. To get started, you don't need any knowledge about HDF5. In addition to an easy-to-use interface, h5py relies on an object-oriented Cython wrap of the HDF5 CAP API. You can do almost anything from C in HDF5 with h5py.
