No I don't think that was it. Although KirbyBase looks like a nice project, particularly the alternative to SQL it uses to specify queries. I remember the webpage presenting the format as fairly established and in active use as an export/import medium, the python module was a binding to an existing library. It's very possible I've combined the memories of KirbyBase (for instance) and HDF. My recollection is to say the least, foggy. Thankyou for replying and thankyou for Daily Python-URL. I'll put this on a backburner for now. I may remember it or come across it again by fortune. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: CSV like file format featured recently in Daily Python URL?
From: Alex Willmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] inquired
I'm trying to track down the name of a file format and python module,
that was featured in the Daily Python URL some time in the last month
or
two.
The format was ASCII with a multiline header defining types for the
comma seperated column data below. It may have had the capability to
store multiple tables in one file. There was news on the homepage that
an alternate 'no data here' syntax was also supported.
An example file had vaguely this structure:
columnname as datatype
columnname as datatype
columnname as datatype
columnname as datatype
data,data,data,data
data,other data,data,data
data,data,,data
Was it something like ARFF? http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/arff.html

Although it would seem there isn't a general python module, rather a Cookbook script to perform conversion to SQL. I must have confused ARFF with HDF. Google ARFF Python: http://www.google.com/search?q=arff+python Curiously, when I just performed that search, this thread was on the first page of results as a supplemental result. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
