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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700963 Title: Vitables incompatible with python-tables To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vitables/+bug/1700963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
