h5.archive.List

class h5.archive.List(ob)[source]

Archive wrapper for a Python list.

Adapts a list to the archive reduce/reconstruct protocol so it can be stored as an HDF5 subgroup: elements are keyed by their (stringified) index on write and reassembled in order on read.

Instances are created internally by HDFArchiveGroup and the class is registered with h5.formats.

Parameters:

oblist: The list to wrap.
