h5max

A utility package built upon h5py for easier data saving and loading.

This package features:

• facilitated saving and loading of sparse matrices using scipy.

Installation

pip install h5max

Usage

import h5py
import h5max
import numpy as np

fh = h5py.File('my_data.h5', 'w')

a = np.zeros((100,100))
b = np.zeros((1000,50))
a[7,1] = 1
b[1,0] = 10

Ms = [a, b]

# store both a, b
h5max.store_sparse_matrices(fh, Ms, format='csr')

# load only a (index 0)
a_out = h5max.load_sparse_matrices(fh, 0, format='csr')

# load [a,b]
Ms_out = h5max.load_sparse_matrices(fh, [0, 1], format='csr')

fh.close()
