Dear Pytable Experts- Making my first leap to an actual table creation exercise and am unable to define the table columns specifically enough. I've tried modding both the "Particle" class example and the "Event" example to know avail. The error message begins with the first column header type "not defined". Could someone clarify if the column types are too generic (having taken them from the examples as is) or if the data I am trying to import into the table is not a fit. I am trying to import a list of numpy ndarrays. I was under the impression from the examples that it was not necessary to describe each column down to the minute detail and the software had some auto-config capabilities.
I am using an ancient laptop running Windows XP with python 5.0, pytables 2.0 and the most recent version of numpy. All tests passed. Snippet of code is below.. # class prices(IsDescription): yy = Int8Col() mm = Int16Col() dd = Int16Col() hh = Int16Col() mn = Int16Col() ss = Int16Col() priceone = Float16Col() pricetwo = Float16Col() pricethree = Float16Col() pricefour = Float16Col() activity = Int16Col() """ Or # Event = { "yy" : Int8Col(), "mm" : Int8Col(), "dd" : Int8Col(), "hh" : Int8Col(), "mn" : Int8Col(), "ss" : Int8Col(), "priceone" : Float16Col(), "pricetwo" : Float16Col(), "pricethree" : Float16Col(), "pricefour" : Float16Col(), "activity" : Int8Col(), } # error code Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\datamung\numpy2pytablesv03.py", line 41, in <module> "yy" : Int8Col(), NameError: name 'Int8Col' is not defined # Thanks much, Vince Fulco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
