Dear data-crunchers,

I have made a very minimalistic module to read HDF data into Python.
The only HDF data structures supported are DFSD and Vgroup. Files
can only be read, not written (sorry, that's all I need). Only HDF files
prior to HDF5 are supported.

The module is heavily based on the NetCDF module in ScientificPython
(thanks for that).

The source and docs can be found at (all GPL'ed):

(this URL might change !)

I hope it is useful to anybody out there. Comments, extensions
and bug reports are mostly welcome.

Regards, Arnold
