Hey @paulromano, it looks like we independently invented a similar code with the same name, though I'm afraid your initial development predates mine by a couple of years. (The first commit in my private repo's history is 2017 compared to your 2015.)

The analysts that I work with routinely definitely need something like this tool to transition from text-file-based output to HDF5 output. Is your h5sh under active development? Shall we join forces?

Haha, great minds think alike. The original version that I wrote was based on the standard-library cmd module, so the recent commits here (and open sourcing) was just from me moving that to use prompt_toolkit. It looks like your project is also based on prompt_toolkit so, yes, we should definitely join forces on this. I'll take a look at what you have and we'll take it from there.

😄 My original one was based on readline, but that too was pretty limited. Let me know what you think! The only thing I've done in the last year and a half or so was to actually get around to documenting and distributing it (thanks to @munkm for the push).
