What’s new in h5py 3.1
Bug fixes
Fix reading numeric data which is not in the native endianness, e.g. big-endian data on a little-endian system (GH1729).
Fix using bytes as names for
Group.create_dataset()
andGroup.create_virtual_dataset()
(GH1732).Fix writing data as a list to a dataset with a sub-array data type (GH1735).
Building h5py
Allow building against system lzf library by setting
H5PY_SYSTEM_LZF=1
. See Custom installation.
Development
If pytest is missing pytest-mpi it will now fail with a clear error.
Fix a test which was failing on big-endian systems.
