I am wondering if there is a simple way to check if a node exists within an HDF5 file using h5py.
I couldn’t find anything in the docs, so right now I’m using exceptions, which is ugly.
# check if node exists
# first assume it exists
e = True
try:
h5File["/some/path"]
except KeyError:
e = False # now we know it doesn't
To add context: I’m using this to determine if a node exists before trying to create a new node with the same name.
does it. This is very briefly mentioned in the
Groupdocumentation.
