I don't use python at all, myself, so please excuse these questions if they seem a little obvious... However, the code I'm writing will be generating data that people will probably want to process using PyTables, so I need to take it into account..

Anyway, what sort of things do I need to take into account when defining an HDF structure in order to make it most compatible with Python/PyTables? I've heard from folks who have done a little digging that having spaces in field names of compound types can cause difficulties. Is that true? Do I need to restrict names to a specific set of characters? Are there any other such gotchas that I need to be aware of?

Thanks :-)

(For the record, I did poke around a bit in the online PyTables documentation, but didn't see any such information in my brief skimming)
