Is it possible to do a H5Fmount in pytables as in the attached C
example? I have some large data sets that would be conveniently split
across several files.
Thanks,
steve.
/*
* This program shows the concept of "mounting files".
* Program creates one file with group G in it, and another
* file with dataset D. Then second file is mounted in the first one
* under the "mounting point" G. Dataset D is accessed in the first file
* under name /G/D and data is printed out.
