Hello Faisal! Just in case you don't know it, maybe Pytables is the right solution for you. It is a disk storage library specially for scientific applications: http://www.pytables.org/moin
The makers claim, that it is fast. It has on the fly data compression which allegedly makes the library faster because fewer data has to be written to disk. The lead developer gave a talk about the topic with interesting slides. He proposes to compress not only data that is stored on disks, but also data resides in RAM; because even RAM is very slow compared to the speed of modern processors. (The slides are near the top of the page.) http://www.euroscipy.org/presentations/abstracts/abstract_alted.html Eike. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
