Hi again Sorry to have bothered.
Turns out if was my poor reading skills that caused my predicament. The user manual actually states that you test the lib with PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tables/tests/test_all.py Well ... at least I can confirm that the old idea of "debug by confession" still works.
