Mmm, all the failures comes from the doctest test units. Which Python interpreter are you using to run the tests? Please can you try plain Python through: $ python -c "import tables; tables.test()" Regarding the second question, you can always access non-Python identifiers through File.getNode() and File.getNodeAttr() calls. See this example: In [1]: import tables In [2]: f = tables.openFile("/tmp/prova.py", "w") In [3]: a = f.createArray(f.root, 'node.var', [1,2]) /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/tables/path.py:102: NaturalNameWarning: object name is not a valid Python identifier: 'node.var'; it does not match the pattern ``^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$``; you will not be able to use natural naming to access this object; using ``getattr()`` will still work, though NaturalNameWarning ) In [4]: b = f.setNodeAttr(a, 'attr.var', 3) /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/tables/path.py:102: NaturalNameWarning: object name is not a valid Python identifier: 'attr.var'; it does not match the pattern ``^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$``; you will not be able to use natural naming to access this object; using ``getattr()`` will still work, though NaturalNameWarning ) In [5]: a2 = f.getNode('/node.var') In [6]: f.getNo f.getNode f.getNodeAttr In [6]: b2 = f.getNodeAttr(a2, 'attr.var') In [7]: a2 Out[7]: /node.var (Array(2,)) '' atom := Int32Atom(shape=(), dflt=0) maindim := 0 flavor := 'python' byteorder := 'little' chunkshape := None In [8]: b2 Out[8]: 3 Note that the warnings are a bit confusing (getattr() call doesn't exist any more). I've filed a ticket about this: http://www.pytables.org/trac/ticket/168 Cheers, -- >0,0< Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V.
