DH5.
This page contains all DH5 class methods. If you wonder how to start with dh5
library, please refer to the First Steps guide.
DH5 - Dict that is synchronized with .h5 file.
Usage and initialization
DH5 can open files in 3 different modes:
- 'r' - Read mode. No data chan be modified.
- 'w' - Write mode. If file exists it will be overwritten. And you have full control on data.
- 'a' - Append mode. If file exists it will be opened. And you have full control on data.
To overwrite file use open_overwrite
method or mode="w"
with overwrite=True
.
Examples
>>> sd = DH5('somedata.h5', 'w')
>>> sd['a'] = 5
>>> sd.save()
>>> sd_read = DH5('somedata.h5', 'r')
>>> sd_read['a']
5
>>> sd_read.a
5
>>> sd_append = DH5('somedata.h5', 'a')
>>> sd_append['b'] = 6
>>> sd_append.save()
>>> sd_read = DH5('somedata.h5', 'r')
>>> sd_read['a'], sd_read['b']
(5, 6)
