Building a huge numpy array using pytables
How can I create a huge numpy array using pytables. I tried this but gives me the "ValueError: array is too big." error:

    import numpy as np
    import tables as tb
    ndim = 60000
    h5file = tb.openFile('test.h5', mode='w', title="Test Array")
    root = h5file.root
    h5file.createArray(root, "test", np.zeros((ndim,ndim), dtype=float))
    h5file.close()
