I'm not using the binary form, so it's not pickling.
Example of the first line of my data file :
0.0 inf 13.9040914426 14.7406669444 inf 4.41783247603 inf inf
6.05071515635inf inf inf
15.6925185021 inf inf inf inf inf inf inf

Well, that would be a solution, but for the moment, I can't use this
solution.. I use a lot of computers, and I can't install the packages I
want, and their latest version - for instance Feisty that has only numpy
1.0.1 and scipy 0.5.1... -
Besides, pure beginners, that do not know of the - excellent - pytables,
will use a text format - simple to check visually the results for instance -
and will run into this behaviour :(
