h5py and hdf5-mpi
We need to change h5py to support hdf5-mpi. h5py is somewhat crippled
as serial-only.
We could just do it straight away in python3-h5py. Is there much point
having h5py support both hdf5-serial and hdf5-mpi? Perhaps there is, in
which case we need to set up multiple builds and use alternatives to set
the preferred h5py.
A related question, is there much point setting up support for
hdf5-mpich as well as hdf5-openmpi? Increasing build and
package-alternatives complexity, but once it's done once to distinguish
hdf5-serial from hdf5-mpi, it's not that much more work to also split
hdf5-mpi between hdf5-mpich and hdf5-openmpi.
