Hi!
This is what I use, maybe it can help you:
def addFields(self,pFieldNames,pFieldTypes,pFieldShapes,pFilters):
global gvH5File
global gvRoot
fieldProp = []
SampleGroupName = 'DG0'
if gvH5File.__contains__('/' + SampleGroupName + '/DS') ==
False:
descr_group = gvH5File.createGroup(gvRoot,SampleGroupName)
for n in range(len(pFieldNames)):
if pFieldTypes[n] == 'string':
fieldProp.append(Col.from_kind('string',itemsize=int(pFieldShapes[n]),shape=(),dflt=None,pos=n+1))
else:
fieldProp.append(Col.from_type(pFieldTypes[n],shape=(),dflt=None,pos=n+1))
#int(pFieldShapes[n]),
descrObj = dict(zip(pFieldNames, fieldProp))
table = gvH5File.createTable("/" + SampleGroupName, "DS",
descrObj, "Sample table",pFilters)
self.properties(descr_group)
return self
else:
group = gvH5File.getNode("/" + SampleGroupName)
dataTable = self.get(group)
descrObj = dataTable.description._v_colObjects
descrObjNew = descrObj.copy()
for n in range(0,len(pFieldNames)):
if pFieldTypes[n] == 'string':
descrObjNew[pFieldNames[n]] =
Col.from_kind('string',itemsize=int(pFieldShapes[n]),shape=(),dflt=None,pos=n+len(dataTable.colnames))
else:
descrObjNew[pFieldNames[n]] =
Col.from_type(pFieldTypes[n],shape=(),dflt=None,pos=n+len(dataTable.colnames))
#int(pFieldShapes[n]),
table = gvH5File.createTable("/" + group._v_name, 'table',
descrObjNew, "Sample table")
for i in xrange(dataTable.nrows):
table.row.append()
table.flush()
#for col in descrObj:
# getattr(table.cols, col)[:] = getattr(dataTable.cols,
col)[:]
dataTable.remove()
table.move("/" + group._v_name,'DS')
self.properties(group)
return self
