I'm looking in a way to list and record hdf5 file content (full path and dataset number/names) into lists; digging into internet, I've found the following ways to print them, but how to record them?

I tried to append the list by giving it as a second argument, but it fails; could you help?

Thanks

def print_attrs(name, obj):
    print(name)
    print(obj)
    for key, val in obj.attrs.items():
        print("{}: {}" .format(key, val))
        
with h5py.File('myfile.h5', 'r') as f:    
    group_names = list(h5.keys())
    f.visititems(print_attrs)
    f.visit(print)

finally I got it into a pdf file:

DatasetList = []
f.visit(DatasetList.append)

in addition to it, additional procedures in stackoverflow
Maybe it can help
