The h5py package provides both a high- and low-level interface to the HDF5

+library from Python. The low-level interface is intended to be a complete
+wrapping of the HDF5 API, while the high-level component supports access to HDF5
+files, datasets and groups using established Python and NumPy concepts.
-The goal of this package is not to provide yet another scientific data
-model. It is an attempt to create as straightforward a binding as possible
-to the existing HDF5 API and abstractions, so that Python programs can
-easily deal with HDF5 files and exchange data with other HDF5-aware
-applications.
+A strong emphasis on automatic conversion between Python (Numpy) datatypes and
+data structures and their HDF5 equivalents vastly simplifies the process of
+reading and writing data from Python.
