While I haven't tried Andrew Collette's h5py (http://code.google.com/p/h5py), it looks like a very 'thin' wrapper around the HDF5 C libraries. Maybe numpy's save(), savez(), load(), memmap() could be enhanced so that saving/loading files with HDF5-like file extensions used the HDF5 format, with code based on h5py and pyhdf5io. This could, I imagine, be a relatively small/simple addition to numpy, with the only external dependency being the HDF5 libraries themselves.
