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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
