[Pytables-users] String type for a column

[dragan s. <sav...@ya...>]

Hi!

I am trying to build a table with a first column
having a string type. I get the following error:

  File
"C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\tables\description.py",
line 169, in from_
type newatom = atom.Atom.from_type(type, shape, dflt)
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\tables\atom.py",
line 445, in from_type
    raise ValueError("unknown type: %r" % (type,))
ValueError: unknown type: 'String'
Closing remaining open files: TABLE_2_0_TEST.h5...
done

I used "Col.from_type" for creating columns. As I
looked up in the manual the Type Code for char is
String. I have problems only with this type. Any
suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks!

Best regards, 
- Dragan
