Hi,

I am moving from NetCDF to HDF5. In NetCDF, I can assign attributes to
each variable/column. That is very useful for self-documenting the
file like this:

        double AVHRR_LONG(Collocations) ;
                AVHRR_LONG:long_name = "AVHRR Longitude" ;
                AVHRR_LONG:units = "degrees_east" ;
                AVHRR_LONG:valid_range = -180., 180. ;

I know that in HDF5, I can assign attributes to each node. But I think
the columns of a table are not nodes. Is there an equivalent in HDF5
to NetCDF's variable attributes? How would I use this in pytables?

regards,
Gerrit.
