Added description for python in "environments" section, updated
descriptions of h5py and pytables python packages.

Thanks!

Armando: I am not sure whether and what to add for ViTables - since it
seems to be a part of PyTables. Any suggestion?

Cheers, Gerd

Nope. ViTables and PyTables are separate projects. It only happens that
ViTables uses PyTables to access HDF5 files and also takes advantage of the
PyTables features, like allowing fast selections in tables, or indexing.

More info about ViTables on its home page:

To me it looks as the (improved) python equivalent of HDF5viewer. A
pity they do not seem to supply stand-alone executables for testing or
to offer a real alternative to HDF5Viewer. Since they use PyQt as
PyMca does, probably they could use my very seem building mechanism.

I am even considering to embed some of its capabilities into PyMca or
(may be even simpler), to see if they provide any plugin system that
could be used to embed PyMca functionality into ViTables. From the
screenshots supplied in their web page, they seem to be able to make
more complex queries on the HDF5 files.

Of course I meant "my very same" and not "my very seem" :-)

You mean something for Windows? There is a Windows installer for ViTables in:

Vicent Mas (the main author of ViTables) has just implemented a plug-in system
for ViTables. You will need the trunk version so as to use it, but you might
want to have it a try.

That's not a stand-alone program. It requires an end user installation
with Python25, PyQt, PyTables, etc. in order to get the program running.

I was talking more about what I do with PyMca: End users can use the
program without a Python installation and that works for Windows, Mac
and Linux.

Ok, I'll take a look.

I see. Well, ViTables used to have a stand-alone installer (based on NSIS)
with everything inside except for Python itself. I'm not sure why Vicent is
not delivering it anymore (lack of time, probably...).
