h5utils is a python package adding extra functionality missing from MIT/nanoComp's h5utils (which is not a python package and is available at https://github.com/NanoComp/h5utils). .

HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) is a file format for storing scientific data.

The tools in the h5utils package allow converting other formats from and to HDF5 and to visualize HDF5 files.

They include:

• h5tovts, which converts HDF5 files to structured VTK files for visualization with VTK-aware programs. This is particularly useful to visualize HDF5 output files from MPB.

For more documentation, please see https://h5utils.readthedocs.io.

pip install h5utils

To convert an .h5 files to .vts, simply run:
