PyTables - HDF5

[luc.k]

Hi,

I've noticed that the possibilities of pyTablesPro are now available
for all users. If you want to install it, the documentation indicates:

"First, make sure that you have
•Python >= 2.4 (Python 3.x is not supported currently),
•HDF5 >= 1.6.10,
•NumPy >= 1.4.1,
•Numexpr >= 1.4.1 and
•Cython >= 0.13"

Am I correct when the current python x,y package doesn't need to
install HDF5 software as such and the reason that upgrading pytables
to version 2.3 does not work for this reason (see below)?

You may need to explicitly state where your local HDF5 headers and
library can be found by setting the ``HDF5_DIR`` environment
variable or by using the ``--hdf5`` command-line option.

Hi,

We do not ship development versions of the packages by default.
PyTables 2.3.1 is scheduled for 2.7.2.2 - the package will be
available sooner though.
