h5.archive.HDFArchiveGroup

class h5.archive.HDFArchiveGroup(parent, subpath)

A view on a subgroup of an HDFArchive.

Exposes a dict-like interface (__getitem__, __setitem__, __delitem__, __iter__, keys, values, items) over the keys of one HDF5 group. On read, registered Python classes are automatically reconstructed via their __factory_from_dict__ (see h5.formats); use get_raw() to bypass reconstruction.

Parameters:

parentHDFArchive or HDFArchiveGroup

The archive or group this view is opened relative to.

subpathstr

Name of the subgroup to open. If empty, this group aliases parent’s group (used for the root view).
