Reading Adios files using openPMD-api for python

Hi Denis,

I want to read the .bp files of the PIConGPU ouput using your openpmd_api for python. However, when I try to access it using

import openpmd_api as io

series = io.Series(file_path+file_name, io.Access.read_only)

I just get the error:

File "read_openpmd_picongpu.py", line 25, in <module>

series = io.Series(file_path+file_name, io.Access.read_only)

RuntimeError: Unknown file format! Did you specify a file ending?

Were you able to directly read those files, or only HDF5 files?

I did not find an Issue in the PIConGPU or openPMD repository.

Cheers,

Johannes
