Python and HDF5, Paperback by Collette, Andrew, ISBN 1449367836, ISBN-13 9781449367831, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK For anyone with a basic background in Python data analysis and NumPy, Collette explains how to use HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format version five) data storage and communication system from Python. He emphasizes the native HDF5 feature set, rather than higher-level abstractions on the Python side, in order to make th as useful as possible for creating portable files. The material supports both Python 2 and Python 3, he says, and while the examples are written for Python 2, he notes differences for Python 3 when they are relevant. This is one of O'Reilly's Nutshell Handbooks. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()

Product Information

Gain hands-on experience with HDF5 for storing scientific data in Python. This practical guide quickly gets you up to speed on the details, best practices, and pitfalls of using HDF5 to archive and share numerical datasets ranging in size from gigabytes to terabytes. Through real-world examples and practical exercises, you'll explore topics such as scientific datasets, hierarchically organized groups, user-defined metadata, and interoperable files. Examples are applicable for users of both Python 2 and Python 3. If you're familiar with the basics of Python data analysis, this is an ideal introduction to HDF5. Get set up with HDF5 tools and create your first HDF5 file Work with datasets by learning the HDF5 Dataset object Understand advanced features like dataset chunking and compression Learn how to work with HDF5's hierarchical structure, using groups Create self-describing files by adding metadata with HDF5 attributes Take advantage of HDF5's type system to create interoperable files Express relationships among data with references, named types, and dimension scales Discover how Python mechanisms for writing parallel code interact with HDF5
