[ddp] python-tables : hierarchical database for Python based on HDF5

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package python-tables, which
is part of the python section, and maintained by Francesc Altet
<faltet at carabos.com>. 

This package contains : hierarchical database for Python based on HDF5.

PyTables is a hierarchical database package designed to efficently
manage very large amounts of data. PyTables is built on top of the
HDF5 library and the numarray package. It features an object-oriented
interface that, combined with natural naming and C-code generated
from Pyrex sources, makes it a fast, yet extremely easy to use tool
for interactively save and retrieve large amounts of data.

 - Compound types (records) can be used entirely from Python (i.e. it
   is not necessary to use C for taking advantage of them).
 - The tables are both enlargeable and compressible.
 - I/O is buffered, so you can get very fast I/O, specially with
   large tables.
 - Very easy to select data through the use of iterators over the
   rows in tables. Extended slicing is supported as well.
 - It supports all the Numeric, numarray and NumPy packages.
