Hello,

I used HDF5 1.8.3 on unbuntu 9.04 with pytables 2.1.2 and fortran binding C.

I create a file2.h5 file in fortran :
>h5dump  file2.h5
HDF5 "file2.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
   GROUP "mesh" {
      GROUP "mesh1" {
         GROUP "mesh21" {
         }
         GROUP "mesh22" {
         }
      }
   }
}
}

and a file1.h5 file :
>h5dump  file1.h5
HDF5 "file1.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
   GROUP "mesh" {
      GROUP "mesh1" {
      }
      EXTERNAL_LINK "mesh2" {
         TARGETFILE "file2.h5"
         TARGETPATH "/mesh/mesh1"
            GROUP "/mesh/mesh1" {
               GROUP "mesh21" {
               }
               GROUP "mesh22" {
               }
            }
      }
   }
}
}

When a read file1.h5 in fortran, I see recursively all file1.h5 element (all 
h5dump prints). But with pytables, external links are not visible. In fortran 
(the C binding) I do nothing special, I read element as if they were internal.

I don't understand why pytables doen't see external links (as Hdfview).

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot,

Cyril.
