Supplemental modules

Filters module

This module has only two public attributes, and allows you to check which filters are currently available for compression. It is available at h5py.filters.

encode
Tuple of filters currently available for encoding. Possible element values are "gzip", "szip" and "lzf"
decode
Tuple of filters currently available for decoding. Possible element values are "gzip", "szip" and "lzf". Note that for some HDF5 distributions, an SZIP decoder may be present, but not the encoder.

All other functions in this module are internal and subject to change without warning.

Selections module

This module implements the details of mapping Python-style selection arguments to HDF5 hyperslab and point selections. Selections are represented by instances of h5py.selections.Selection subclasses.
