What is?
This is a python module to read and write kdf file as produced by khoros tools
(http://www.khoral.com).
What is a kdf file?
Basically you can assume it is a multidimensional (five fixed dimensions) file
format; it is composed by an header plus an data section; the data can be in any
type (char, unsigned char, int, long, float double complex and so on).
How to compile it?
simply enter the main directory and run:
python setup.py build
then move by hand the generated file inside build/lib-XXXXX/kdfiomodule.so where
your PYTHONPATH points to.
How to use it?
Simply in a python program:
import kdfio
a=kdfio.read("myfile.kdf")
.. some operation ..
kdfio.write(a,"myfileout.kdf")
The a object will contain the data in a Numerical object, so you're able to do
what's possible to do with Numerical python.
'
Courrent stage
With the major rewrite of the code (1.1.1) there is support for all the khoros datatype (just the KBIT is missing),
and for automatic casting when a numeric python type is not available (unsigned short, unsigned int and al.)
Don't expect this will be ready for prime time
