Repository Overview (README excerpt)
Crawler viewLatest doc builds on RTD pyfive : A pure Python HDF5 file reader ======================================= pyfive is an open source library for reading HDF5 files written using pure Python (no C extensions). The package is still in development and not all features of HDF5 files are supported. pyfive aims to support the same API as for reading files. Cases where a file uses a feature that is supported by h5py but not pyfive are considered bugs and should be reported in our Issues. Writing HDF5 output is not a goal of pyfive and portions of the API which apply only to writing will not be implemented. Dependencies ============ pyfive is tested against Python versions 3.10 to 3.14. It may also work with other Python versions. The only dependencies to run the software besides Python is numpy . Install ======= pyfive can be installed using pip using the command:: pip install pyfive conda packages are also available from conda-forge:: conda install -c conda-forge pyfive To install from source in your home directory use:: pip install --user ./pyfive The library can also be imported directly from the source directory. Development =========== git --- You can check out the latest pyfive souces with the command:: git clone https://github.com/NCAS-CMS/pyfive.git testing ------- pyfive comes with a test suite in the tests directory. These tests can be exercised using the pytest command from the root directory (requires installation of the pytest package).
