[Pytables-users] EArray

[Andre' Walker-L. <wal...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I have a bunch of hdf5 files I am using to create one hdf5 file.
Each individual file has many different pieces of data, and they are all the same shape in each file.

I am using createEArray to make the large array in the final file.

if the data files in the individual h5 files are of shape (256,1,2), then I have to use 

createEArray('/path/','name',tables.floatAtom64(),(0,256,1,2),expectedrows=len(data_files))

if the np array I have grabbed from an individual file to append to my EArray is defined as data, is there a way to use data.shape to create the shape of my EArray?

In spirit, I want to do something like (0,data.shape)  but this does not work.
I have been scouring the numpy manual to see how to convert 

data.shape
 (256,1,2)

to (0,256,1,2)

but failed to figure this out (if I don't know ahead of time the shape of data - in which case I can manually reshape).


Thanks,

Andre
