Hdfstore Start Stop Not Working

Is it clear what I am doing wrong? I'm experimenting with pandas HDFStore.select start and stop options and it's not making a difference. The commands I'm using are: import pandas

Solution 1:

When writing to the h5 file, select pandas.to_hdf(<path>,<key>,format='tables') which enables subsets of the store to be selected. However, this is a bug as you should get an error.

According to Jeff (https://stackoverflow.com/users/644898/jeff),

this is a known bug and has a fix here: github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/8287

Pull requests welcome.
