Dear PyTables users, I am trying to figure out the best way to write some metadata into some files I have.
The hdf5 file looks like /root/data_1/stat /root/data_1/sys where "stat" and "sys" are Arrays containing statistical and systematic fluctuations of numerical fits to some data I have. What I would like to do is add another object /root/data_1/fit where "fit" is just a metadata key that describes all the choices I made in performing the fit, such as seed for the random number generator, and many choices for fitting options, like initial guess values of parameters, fitting range, etc. I began to follow the example in the PyTables manual, in Section 1.2 "The Object Tree", where first a class is defined class Particle(tables.IsDescription): identity = tables.StringCol(itemsize=22, dflt=" ", pos=0) ... and then this class is used to populate a table. In my case, I won't have a table, but really just want a single object containing my metadata. I am wondering if there is a recommended way to do this? The "Table" does not seem optimal, but I don't see what else I would use.
