I think it would be good to have a function that can read nested groups + attributes as a nested dictionary

I agree, if we abandon flattening the dictionary this would make pyNSID more compatible with NeXus, and the hdf5 files would be easier to read.

Should be adressed in pyNSID

ssomnath commented 3 years ago

Actually, this is a generic enough function that it should probably stay in sidpy. I think we should keep clearly NSID specific stuff in pyNSID.
