Sorry about the bounce; indeed I forgot to use the right return address.
Thanks Francesc and Andrew; Andrew's solution works fine and is the
fastest way to go. And I learned something new about Python warnings.
However perhaps it would be nice to have a function that does what I
suggest, as natural naming is a major feature of PyTables. I'll see what
I can do over the weekend, and open an ticket with or without code,
depending on the outcome.
Best, Gabriel
