Cannot access compound dataset which contains array of enum

I am trying to access a dataset which contains an enum array via h5serv, however h5pyd throws the following exception:

File "$HOME/project/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/h5pyd-0.2.6-py2.7.egg/h5pyd/_hl/group.py", line 335, in __getitem__

raise TypeError("Array Type base type must be integer, float, or string")
TypeError: Array Type base type must be integer, float, or string

We can create a minimal dataset to reproduce the error using h5py as follows:

import h5py
import numpy as np

f = h5py.File('test.h5', 'w')
enum_type = h5py.special_dtype(enum=('i', {"FOO": 0, "BAR": 1, "BAZ": 2}))
comp_type = np.dtype([('my_enum_array', enum_type, 10), ('my_int', 'i'), ('my_string', np.str_, 32)])
dataset = f.create_dataset("test", (4,), comp_type)
f.close()

We then put it in h5serv's data directory and try to access it:

import h5pyd
f = h5pyd.File("test.hdfgroup.org", endpoint="http://127.0.0.1:5000")
print(f['test'])

This yields the above exception. Note that we are able to access the dataset as expected using regular h5py.

Applying the following patch to h5pyd prevents the exception and returns a dataframe, however it doesn't seem to give the correct behavior (the enum array seems to be treated as an int array):

diff --git a/h5pyd/_hl/h5type.py b/h5pyd/_hl/h5type.py
index 4ce6cb4..10ce562 100644

I'm not sure how to properly proceed in working around this. Thanks in advance for your advice.
