Hi! A year ago I wrote a prototype of an import plugin framework for HDF5-Files in VEUSZ.
https://github.com/volkerjaenisch/veusz/tree/modular_import I utilized the pytables framework for the plugin. The code may be not operable for every purpose since it depends on a certain structure of HDF5 files tailored for one of my customers, but this can be changed easily. This code was unfinished, untested and therfore never made its way upstream. I would like to contribute to a project to integrate HDF5 into veusz. Not only import but also output of HDF5 is of importance. The VEUSZ data format is not capable of dealing with large datasets. With the HDF5 plugin my customer was able to visualize terabyte large HDF5 datasets, but was not capable to save them since the veusz data format is nether binary nor packed.
