Hello,

I am using pytables to read an HDF5 file created by another program. These files use 8-bit enums to indicate True (1) and False (0) values. Pytables doesn't like this, and I get hundreds of warnings like the following:

 DataTypeWarning: Unsupported type for attribute XXX in node '/'. Offending HDF5 class: 8

Looking at it in HDF5Viewer, these attributes look like this:

Is there a way to make these warnings go away, or, better yet, register this simple enum type so pytables can read in the correct boolean values?

Thanks!
