PyTables is a package for managing hierarchical datasets and designed
|
|
to efficiently and easily cope with extremely large amounts of data.
|
|
It s built on top of the HDF5 library, using the Python language
|
|
and the NumPy package. It features an object-oriented interface
|
|
that, combined with C extensions for the performance-critical parts
|
|
of the code (generated using Cython), makes it a fast, yet extremely
|
|
easy to use tool for interactively browse, process and search very
|
|
large amounts of data. One important feature of PyTables is that
|
|
it optimizes memory and disk resources so that data takes much less
|
|
space (specially if on-flight compression is used) than other
|
|
solutions such as relational or object oriented databases.
