Greetings,

I’d like to store time series that can be normalised to table rows. Has anybody used the [HDF5 Tables API](https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/develop/group___h5_t_b.html) from Fortran and can share some experiences? Are these HDF5 objects readable from languages other than Fortran and C? Are they even compatible to [PyTables](https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables)?
