Importing h5 data into python

[mbruins]

To whom this may concern,

I am interested in importing black marble VNP46A2 data into python. I have run the script below, but I get the following error:

TypeError: h5py objects cannot be pickled

I am quite new to working with geospatial data and am a bit lost! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

import os
import h5py

# Set current directory
directory_path = os.getcwd()
print("My current directory is : " + directory_path)

filename = "VNP46A2.A2022207.h00v16.001.2022219104939.h5"

hf = h5py.File(filename, "w")
