Francesc, I 've tried the svn version of links pytables. No problem to build the package on Ubuntu 9.10 against HDF5 1.8.4 and python 2.5.4.
The walkNodes function prints the external link. Perhaps it should tranparently read the linked file ... I have not test external link creation yet.

You can download the branch with something like: $ svn co http://www.pytables.org/svn/pytables/branches/links The new methods for creating links are: File.createHardLink(where, name, target, createparents=False) File.createSoftLink(where, name, target, createparents=False) File.createExternalLink(where, name, target, createparents=False) but existing links in already created HDF5 files should open well too. I've to update user's manual yet, but docstrings in code should be fairly complete. BTW, the ``links`` branch should work only with HDF5 1.8.x series (I still have to see how to backport this to HDF5 1.6.x). If you want to have a look at the implementation, look at: http://pytables.org/trac/log/branches/links Please tell me if you experience some problem or have suggestions.
