Default value of kwarg 'compression' in create_dataset() of h5py

Question

what is the default value of the compression keyword argument of the function create_dataset in h5py, i.e. what value do I have to pass to get no compression?

I'm asking because I would like to have a flag which turns the compression on/off and I'd like to avoid to have a case switch every time I call the function, once with and once without the respective keyword.

[`None`](https://github.com/h5py/h5py/blob/master/h5py/_hl/dataset.py#L50). — Ilja Everilä, Jun 03 '16 at 09:00
Stupid me, of course i's None. I tried that, got an error and blamed it on this although it was a different problem. Thanks. — obachtos, Jun 03 '16 at 09:03

As Ilja Everilä pointed out, the default compression keyword for no compression is None.
