I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 and this still seems to be an issue. vitables
2.1-1 included with Ubuntu 17.10 is incompatible with the pytables
3.3.0.
Specifically, trying to open any file will result in a call to
tables.isHDF5File. See this file here.
/usr/share/vitables/vitables/h5db/dbsTreeModel.py
But isHDF5File is deprecated in pytables 3.3.0 and is now named
is_hdf5_file.
https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables/blob/6782047b9223897fd59ff4967d71d7fdfb474f16/tables/scripts/pt2to3.py
Consequently, vitables fails to verify whether a file is an HDF5 file
and won't open it.
I believe to make vitables working again you need to switch to vitables
3.0. In the current state, it doesn't seem like vitables can open any
hdf5 file.
