Well, PyTables doesn't support variable-length strings in attributes yet. I've filed a ticket (http://www.pytables.org/trac/ticket/167) so that I don't forget to try to add support for it (at least for read-only mode). I will try to add this for forthcoming 2.1 release, but I can't promise it. Cheers, -- >0,0< Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V.
