What I investigated so far

H5Ewalk() was renamed to H5Ewalk1() and deprecated in 1.8.0 as stated here: https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/develop/group___h5_e.html#title29

I use 1.14.1, so I don't really understand that the build seems to to use this deprecated function?

$ brew info hdf5                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
==> hdf5: stable 1.14.1 (bottled)

  ERROR: Failed building wheel for tables
  Building wheel for timezonefinder (pyproject.toml) ... done

Following the Github issue I tried building and installing the latest version of tables like so:

python setup.py build --hdf5=/opt/homebrew/opt/hdf5 --use-pkgconfig=FALSE --blosc=/opt/homebrew/opt/c-blosc --lzo=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/lzo/2.10 --bzip2=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/bzip2/1.0.8

python setup.py install --hdf5=/opt/homebrew/opt/hdf5

Then, the test suite of tables fails with:

python3 -m tables.tests.test_all                                                                                                                                                                              ─╯

Solution

  • I managed to reproduce your issue, the problem seems to be installing the package from PyPi. From the error message it seems the Cython cannot find lzo libraries.

    The solution of the mentioned GitHub thread seems to be installing c-blosc, which also did not fix the problem for me.

    There are two options that worked for me:

    pip3 install git+https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables
    
    conda install -c anaconda pytables
