Okay, I'm completely confused. I've gone through the docs and there are many examples, but I can't find anything as simple as I want. Maybe I'm not using the right tool?
In it's simplest form, I have a large number of (name, np array) tuples. (I happen to store them in a dict, and the np arrays are actually TimeSeries instances, but I don't think that's important for my very basic lack of understanding.) I'd like to write a table with 2 columns, the first is a string (for the name) the second is an np array (for the data). How do I do that? I was expecting something like: class SimpTab(tb.IsDescription): name = tb.StringCol(itemsize=10) dta = *something that says this is a numpy array* I've found the createArray method, but I don't think that does what I want. I thought there'd be some NpArrayCol() type thing. I don't need to do any fancy selection, I just need to dump the data to disk and then read it back in. The whole data set is only about 1GB, so it's no problem reading the whole thing into memory. Am I using the wrong tool? Sorry to be so dense. thanks, -robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
