Francesc, I want to thank you as well for your ongoing support with PyTables. It is a fantastic library.
Anthony & Batuhan - I would like to volunteer to help support PyTables with you. I'm a newbie to PyTables having used it via Wes McKinney's excellent pandas package for only about six months. However, I am happy to help where I can. Henry On Jun 2, 2011, at 6:52 PM, Anthony Scopatz wrote: > Hello All, > > Francesc, I'd like to reiterate everyone's thanks and best wishes.
