I see. Well, this is a good to know. As you see, I don't regularly easy_install the package, but provided that it is fairly stable and safe now, I should pay more attention to this in the future. > I think this may be because of the issue described in > <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-December/008525. >html>--the tarball does not have the name that would be produced by > python setup.py sdist (tables-2.0.4.tar.gz).

I've done this for the PyTables and PyPI repository, and checked that it works now.

I think we would add the package 'numpy' as a requirement for the 'tables' package. However, this wouldn't solve the HDF5 requirement automatically.
