Dear list, I'm writing this because i have developed a small python module that might be of interest to you the readers of this list:
http://code.google.com/p/pyhdf5io/
It basically implements load/save functions that mimic the behaviour of those found in Matlab, i.e. with them you can store your variables from within the interactive shell (IPython, python) or from within a function, and then load them back in again. One important difference is that the hdf5 format is used to store the variables, which comes with a a number of benefits: - a open standard file format which is supported by many applications. - completely portable file format across different platforms.

And now to the question:
I think that this module is to small to be developed and maintained on its on, I think It would be better if it could be part of some larger project. So where would pyhdf5io fit in?
