As noted by the APS USAXS, consider this algorithm to access scalar values in HDF5 files:


if dataset.shape == (1, ):  # historical representation of scalar value
    value = dataset[0]
elif  dataset.shape == ():  # scalar representation
    value = dataset.value
else:  # array of some sort
    value = numpy.array(dataset)
