[Numpy-discussion] ANN: HDF5 for Python 1.1

[Andrew Collette]

Thanks, Ondrej.  For the record, h5py is designed to provide a
"NumPy-like" interface to HDF5, along with a near-complete wrapping of
the low-level HDF5 C API.  It has none of the database-like features
of PyTables.  The FAQ entry has more info.
