h5io is a package designed to facilitate saving some standard Python objects into the forward-compatible HDF5 format. It is a higher-level package than h5py.

To get the latest code using git, simply type:

git clone git://github.com/h5io/h5io.git

If you don't have git installed, you can download a zip or tarball of the latest code: https://github.com/h5io/h5io/archives/master

As any Python packages, to install h5io, go in the source code directory and do:

python setup.py install

or if you don't have admin access to your python setup (permission denied when install) use:

python setup.py install --user

You can also install the latest release version with pip:

pip install h5io --upgrade

or for the latest development version (the most up to date):

pip install -e git+https://github.com/h5io/h5io#egg=h5io-dev --user

The required dependencies to build the software are h5py and numpy. scipy is required for sparse matrix IO support.
