Re: [Pytables-users] Re: Dimension Scales and Pytables

Hi Remi,

Let me some days to digest your contributions and send back my
feedback to you. An issue that concerns me a little bit is whether we
should include your patches in the next stable version of PyTables or
not. The problem here is that dimension scales will be implemented in
forthcoming HDF5 1.8, but not in HDF5 1.6.x, which is the current
production version of HDF5.

I think that the best would be to create a branch for dimension scales
in the PyTables SVN repository, and continue the work there until HDF5
1.8 would hit the street. However, there is currently not provision of
offering snapshots for SVN branches :-(. Anyway, this remember us that
we should start implementing a public interface for the complete
PyTables repository. We probably will choose Trac
(http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/) for this, but feedback is
welcome.

I'll tell you more on this soon.

Thanks!
