[SciPy-user] HDF5 Viewer for Python

[Clowers, Brian H]

I have data sets in a HDF5 format that contain a number of arrays which
I'd like to plot using matplotlib.  I can do this pretty easily using
just IDLE and pyTables, however, it would be nice to put together a GUI
and automate some of the key strokes.  Does anyone know of or have an
alternative to viTables that they'd be willing to share?  viTables looks
great but it is also 250 Euros for single license--then again if it had
the capability to directly plot to matplotlib I'd consider it.  Anyway,
when it comes to a GUI I imagine the challenge would be how to link the
arrays or tables in the HDF5 file to a Treeview in an interactive
manner.  Any thoughts?  

Thanks,

Brian
