hdf5 over ssh in Python

Question

Is there an easy way to read hdf5 file remotely (through ssh) within the Python. As far as I know default h5py module does not allow this. What's the easiest way of doing this?

PS. Copying is not an option, I have terabytes of data.

Answer 1

Not ssh, but h5serv will allow you to read/write hdf5 data over http: h5serv docs . h5pyd is an h5py api compatible package the uses the h5serv REST API: h5pyd
