Description: Python Module for working with HDF5 files

Long Description: The h5py package provides a simple, Pythonic interface to HDF5. A straightforward high-level interface allows the manipulation of HDF5 files, groups and datasets using established Python and NumPy metaphors. Additionally, the library offers a low-level interface which exposes the majority of the HDF5 C API in a Pythonic, object-oriented fashion.
