This class creates a buffered iterator for reading big arrays in small contiguous blocks. The class is useful for objects stored in the filesystem. It allows iteration over the object without reading everything in memory; instead, small blocks are read and iterated over.

The class can be used with any object that supports multidimensional slices, like variables from Scientific.IO.NetCDF, pynetcdf and ndarrays.

The latest version is available in a Subversion repository.
