[Python] Read multiple datasets from same Group in h5 file using h5py

I have several groups in my h5 file: 'group1', 'group2', ... and each group has 3 different datasets: 'dataset1', 'dataset2', 'dataset3', all of which are arrays with numerical values but the size of array is different.

My goal is to save each dataset from group to a numpy array.

Example:

import h5py
filename = '../Results/someFileName.h5'
data = h5py.File(filename, 'r')


Now I can easily iterate over all groups with

for i in range(len(data.keys())):
group = list(data.keys())


but I can't figure out how to access the datasets within the group. So I am looking for something like MATLAB:

hinfo = h5info(filename);
for i = 1:length(hinfo.Groups())
datasetname = [hinfo.Groups(i).Name '/dataset1'];
dset = h5read(fn, datasetname);


Where dset is now an array of numbers.

Is there a way I could do the same with h5py?
