HDF 5 Plugin

This plugin allows pydap to serve data from HDF 5 files, and is based on the module Pytables that should be installed manually. Pytables itself depends on the numarray and the HDF 5 library. After installing these dependencies, you can install the plugin with the command:

$ easy_install dap.plugins.hdf5

Simply restart your pydap server after this and it should be able to serve HDF 5 files. The files should have the extension .hdf5, .he5 or .h5.

Please note that the plugin is still experimental. If you have problems with it, please send me an email with a description of the problem and possibly a link where I can download the file so I can fix it.
