pandas 1.4.2

Parameters
put(self, key: 'str', value: 'DataFrame | Series', format=None, index=True, append=False, complib=None, complevel: 'int | None' = None, min_itemsize: 'int | dict[str, int] | None' = None, nan_rep=None, data_columns: 'Literal[True] | list[str] | None' = None, encoding=None, errors: 'str' = 'strict', track_times: 'bool' = True, dropna: 'bool' = False)

Parameters

key : str
value : {Series, DataFrame}
format : 'fixed(f)|table(t)', default is 'fixed'

Format to use when storing object in HDFStore. Value can be one of:

'fixed'

Fixed format. Fast writing/reading. Not-appendable, nor searchable.

'table'

Table format. Write as a PyTables Table structure which may perform worse but allow more flexible operations like searching / selecting subsets of the data.

append : bool, default False

This will force Table format, append the input data to the existing.

data_columns : list of columns or True, default None

List of columns to create as data columns, or True to use all columns. See :None:None:`here <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/io.html#query-via-data-columns>`.

encoding : str, default None

Provide an encoding for strings.

track_times : bool, default True

Parameter is propagated to 'create_table' method of 'PyTables'. If set to False it enables to have the same h5 files (same hashes) independent on creation time.

versionadded

Store object in HDFStore.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
