I'm trying to read rows from a table. I wrote the table with a dictionary descriptor, which looks like {'label': tables.StringCol(16), 'x':tables. Float64Col(), 'y':tables. Float64Col()}
tbl = h5File.createTable(gp, tblName, tblDict, title='') If I read the whole table with tbl.read() I get an array of records, with the field names 'label', 'x', 'y', just as expected. However, I can't figure out how to read one row at a time and get a record array. I've tried: r = [row[:] for row in tbl] I get back a list with an item per row, but the rows are tuples, not record arrays. How can I read the rows and get record arrays? A second question. Ultimately I want to read only rows with certain 'label' fields. I have a set of labels, labelSet, and I want to get the rows with labels in that set: r = [ row[:] for row in tbl if (row['label'] in labelSet)] Is there a better/faster way to select those rows? thanks, -robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
