I'm trying to open a group-less hdf5 file with pandas:
import pandas as pd
foo = pd.read_hdf('foo.hdf5')
but I get an error:
TypeError: cannot create a storer if the object is not existing nor a value are passed
I tried solving this by assigning a key
:
foo = pd.read_hdf('foo.hdf5','key')
which works if key
was a group, but the file has no groups, but rather several datasets in the highest hdf structure. ie the structure of the working file is: Groups --> Datasets, while the structure of the not working file is: Datasets. Both work fine when opening them with h5py, where I would use:
f = h5py.File('foo.hdf5','r')
and
dset = f['dataset']
to view a dataset. Any ideas how to read this in pandas?
I think you'are confused by different terminology - Pandas's HDF store key
is a full path ie Group + DataSet_name
...
demo:
In [67]: store = pd.HDFStore(r'D:\temp\.data\hdf\test.h5')
In [68]: store.append('dataset1', df)
In [69]: store.append('/group1/sub_group1/dataset2', df)
In [70]: store.groups
Out[70]:
<bound method HDFStore.groups of <class 'pandas.io.pytables.HDFStore'>
File path: D:\temp\.data\hdf\test.h5
/dataset1 frame_table (typ->appendable,nrows->9,ncols->2,indexers->[index])
/group1/sub_group1/dataset2 frame_table (typ->appendable,nrows->9,ncols->2,indexers->[index])>
In [71]: store.items
Out[71]:

/group1/sub_group1/dataset2 frame_table (typ->appendable,nrows->9,ncols->2,indexers->[index])>
In [72]: store.close()
In [73]: x = pd.read_hdf(r'D:\temp\.data\hdf\test.h5', 'dataset1')
In [74]: x.shape
Out[74]: (9, 2)
In [75]: x = pd.read_hdf(r'D:\temp\.data\hdf\test.h5', '/group1/sub_group1/dataset2')
In [76]: x.shape
Out[76]: (9, 2)
