-PyTables is a package for managing hierarchical datasets
-and designed to efficiently and easily cope with extremely
-large amounts of data. It optimizes memory and disk resources
-so that data takes much less space than other solutions such
-as relational or object oriented databases.
-
-PyTables has been designed to fulfill the next requirements:
- 1. Allow to structure your data in a hierarchical way.
- 2. Easy to use. It implements the NaturalNaming scheme for
- allowing convenient access to the data.
- 3. All the cells in datasets can be multidimensional entities.
- 4. Most of the I/O operations speed should be only limited by
- the underlying I/O subsystem.
- 5. Enable the end user to save large datasets in a efficient
- way, i.e. each single byte of data on disk has to be
- represented by one byte plus a small fraction when loaded
- in memory.
