Gael, Sounds very interesting! Would you mind sharing an example (with code if possible) of how you organize your experimental data in pytables. I have been thinking about how I might organize my data in pytables and would luv to hear how an experienced user does that.
Given the speed differences it looks like pytables is going to be a better solution for my needs. Still curious however ... does no one on this list use (and like) sqlite? Could anyone suggest any other list where I might find users of python and sqlite (and numpy)?
