[Pytables-users] nested tables?

[Jeff W. <js...@fa...>]

Hi all:

Is it possible to create tables with entries are themselves tables? (I 
read section 3.6 of the tutorial, but couldn't quite figure out if it 
does what I want).  Specifically, I would
like to have a table like this:

Observation = {
 "id": StringCol(length=16)
 "lat: Float32Col()
 "lon": Float32Col()
 "value": Float32Col()
 "type": StringCol(length=4)
 "qcflags": <another table whose structure depends on the value of "type">
 }


-Jeff
