I'm having some trouble reading and old HDF5 file that I made with pandas in python 2.7.
At the time I was using the to_hdf method to append groups to the file (e.g. db.to_hdf('File.h5', 'groupNameA', mode='a', data_columns=True, format='table'))
Now when I open the store and get the keys of the groups I find that each one has a slash added to the name ('/groupNameA' in the example above). Attempting to access those groups with store['/groupNameA'], store.select('/groupNameA'), etc. produces TypeError: getattr(): attribute name must be string. Getting that error seems correct (slashes should not be used in these keys) but that doesn't help me get my data into a python 3 environment.
If there's a way to get around this problem in python 3, that'd be great.
Alternatively, I can still load the data in my 2.7 environment. So changing the code for writing the store so that slashes don't get added would probably solve the issue as well.
