Hi,
NetCDF4 introduces a new atomic type called string (and also the underlying format is HDF5) however I am having difficulties verifying that that functionality is available in all the pieces of the software in postprocessing side of things. I contacted the developer for Python-netcdf4 package about string support and here is what he said: " ... No, I don't expect to be adding that anytime soon. The main problem is that there is no numpy array type corresponding to variable length strings. You might check out pytables, it may be able to handle it. " So now wanted to find out , if dealing with strings is something that pytables can do with netCDF4 (and then I will be using NumPy to postprocess the data as part of SageMath) Also, (this is a separate question) -- is Python 3.0 support something that you plan to make available this year? thanks in advance, VSP -- V S P [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Accessible with your email software or over the web ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
