This document details the modifications to PyTables since version 1.2. Its main purpose is help you ensure that your programs will be runnable when you switch from PyTables 1.2 to PyTables 1.3.2.
API additions¶
The Table.Cols accessor has received a new __setitem__() method that allows doing things like:
table.cols[4] = record table.cols.x[4:1000:2] = array # homogeneous column table.cols.Info[4:1000:2] = recarray # nested column
Backward-incompatible changes¶
- None
Deprecated features¶
- None
API refinements¶
- Table.itersequence() has changed the default value for the sort parameter. It is now false by default, as it is not clear if this actually accelerates the iterator, so it is better to let the user do the proper checks (if interested).
