how to export HDF5 file to NumPy using H5PY?
h5py already reads files in as numpy arrays, so just:
with h5py.File('the_filename', 'r') as f: my_array = f['array_name'][()]The [()] means to read the entire array in; if you don't do that, it doesn't read the whole data but instead gives you lazy access to sub-parts (very useful when the array is huge but you only need a small part of it).
