Ok, I understand that my thought on making hdf5 the standard save/load format for numpy was a bit naive. If it would have been easy it would already have been done. Thanks for the insights Robert. Well anyhow, I will continue with my little module and see where it goes. I will start a new thread i

Dear list, I'm writing this because i have developed a small python module that might be of interest to you the readers of this list: http://code.google.com/p/pyhdf5io/ It basically implements load/save functions that mimic the behaviour of those found in Matlab, ie with them you can store
