Hi Anthony:
Could you please include a short example of a nested table in a table?
I am finding the row.append() command messing things up.
Here's a dummy example:
# open a file in 'w'rite mode
h5f = pt.openFile(file, mode='w', title='Test')
# get HDF5 root group
root = h5f.root
table = h5f.createTable(root, 'table', Funds)
row = table.row
# populate table
for i in range(10):
row['code'] = 'ABCD'
row['name'] = 'Fund Name'
row['type'] = 'Type'
for j in range(20):
data1 = i*100 + j*10
data2 = i*1. + j*0.1
row['Data/price'] = data1
row['Data/dividend'] = data2
row.append()
table.flush()
h5f.close()
where:
class Data_(pt.IsDescription):
date = pt.Time32Col(pos=0)
price = pt.Float32Col(pos=1)
dividend = pt.Float32Col(pos=2)
class Funds(pt.IsDescription):
code = pt.StringCol(itemsize=4,dflt="",pos=0)
name = pt.StringCol(itemsize=80,dflt="",pos=1)
type = pt.StringCol(itemsize=80,dflt="",pos=2)
data = Data()
Thanks!
