Basically my requirements are: (1) python interface (2) used and developed the open source way (to benefit from existing tools and future development) (3) backup + metadata self contained in 1 file for simplicity (move, delete, ..., no 'database' server/client to deal with) (4) possible edit from command line and GUI of metadata (preference for Qt GUI) (ex add a new parameter to backup ) (5) Compare backup with tolerance (6) 'Simple' to use (7) (nice to have) Support EPICS ( a community tool I use in house as the basis of my control system, I can develop the plug-in if required so optional)
So far I am using SDDS, but not (1), (2), and (6) [ (4) is also questionable] I looked at pytables, but not (7) + apparently (4) and (5) are questionable I looked at ODF/python/XML, but not (4 command line), (6), (7) Do you know any tool that could come close to this (pytables/hdf5 like ;-) ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
