[Pytables-users] What is the best way to copy a table from one file to another?

2012-11-08 Thread Aquil H. Abdullah
I create the tables in an HDF5 file from three different python processes. I needed to modify one of the processes, but not the others. Is there an easy way to copy the two tables that did not change to the new file? -- Aquil H. Abdullah "I never think of the future. It comes soon enough" - Al

[Pytables-users] Can PyTable use 7Zip

2012-11-08 Thread Jim Knoll
I would like to squeeze out as much compression as I can get. I do not mind spending time on the front end as long as I do not kill my read performance. Seems like 7Zip is well suited to my data. Is it possible to have 7Zip used as the native internal compression for a pytable? If not now ha

[Pytables-users] pyTable index from c++

2012-11-08 Thread Jim Knoll
I love the index function and promote the internal use of PyTables at my company. The availability of a indexed method to speed the search is the main reason why. We are a mixed shop using c++ to create H5 (just for the raw speed … need to keep up with streaming data) End users start with py

Hello Jim, The major hurdle here is exposing 7Zip to HDF5. Luckily it appears as if this may have been taken care of for you by the HDF-group already [1]. You should google around to see what has already been done and how hard it is to install. The next step is to expose this as a compression o
