Hi! I did put the "string" and now I get the following error:
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\tables\description.py", line 169, in from_ type newatom = atom.Atom.from_type(type, shape, dflt) File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\tables\atom.py", line 451, in from_type return class_.from_kind(kind, itemsize, shape, dflt) File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\tables\atom.py", line 500, in from_kind raise ValueError( "no default item size for kind ``%s``" ValueError: no default item size for kind ``string`` Closing remaining open files: TABLE_2_0_TEST.h5... done I see now why it works for other types except the "string". Maybe this could be fixed by adding the itemsize along the string keyword like "string10". But then so should function split_type be modified...
