Can't add other data into sparse

[duoan]

Thanks @appier
I can add sparse data with h5sparse,
but can add array or list and other type data into h5sparse File.

import h5sparse
def dump_h5py(dump_file, matrix, fnames):
    with h5sparse.File(dump_file) as h5f:
        h5f.create_dataset('matrix', data=matrix)
        h5f.create_dataset('fnames', data=fnames)

     69         else:
     70             group = self.h5py_group.create_group(name)
---> 71             group.attrs['h5sparse_format'] = get_format_str(data)
     72             group.attrs['h5sparse_shape'] = data.shape
     73             group.create_dataset('data', data=data.data, dtype=dtype, **kwargs)

     15         if isinstance(data, format_class):
     16             return format_str
---> 17     raise ValueError("Data type {} is not supported.".format(type(data)))
     18 
     19 

ValueError: Data type <class 'list'> is not supported.

I mean h5sparse is a extend for h5py added sparse data feature and support other all feature like h5py.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

We currently only support Scipy sparse matrix. It's simply a POC about combining HDF5 with sparse matrix.
We still need much more effort to integrate with full h5py functions, but we are not actively contributing to this project now.
