[Numpy-discussion] Fwd: Request for Use Cases - h5import and text data

[Francesc Altet]

Hi,

This has been sent to the hdf-forum at hdfgroup.org list, but it should of 
interest to NumPy/SciPy lists too.  Remember that you can access most of 
the HDF5 files from Python by using PyTables.

Cheers,

Request for Use Cases - h5import and text data

h5import is an HDF5 tool that converts floating point or integer data 
stored in ASCII or binary files into the HDF5 format. Currently h5import 
only processes numeric data. The HDF Group plans to add support for 
importing text data into HDF5 using h5import.

We are now soliciting use cases that will guide the design of the text 
to dataset import feature in h5import. Please consider text you might 
want to import and how you would want to access that text once it is in 
the HDF5 file, and send your use cases to help at hdfgroup.org before 
September 17, 2007.

Thank you for your help as we strive to improve our tools.
