Hi Chelsea, I've got pytables working just fine on Mac OS X snow leopard (10.6.4). You need to make sure you get all the dependencies installed properly on your Mac. I believe you should be using and installing everything for Python 2.6. Make sure you have numexpr 1.3 or greater, numpy (the latest version), the hdf5 (which was what I had the most problems with installing). Once all the dependencies are installed, installing pytables is just sudo easy_install tables (make sure easy_install uses your 2.6 Python site packages).
I have more detailed notes if you have more problems. Let me know Grace On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 4:16 PM, Chelsea Sharon <c.e.sha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Brandt Belson <bbelson <at> princeton.edu> writes: > >> I have good news!
