Remark on installing older lib version Mac obsolete?

[michaelaye]

The tutorial 03b says:

If you're on a Mac you need to install the previous versions of h5py and pytables, like so:
conda install h5py=2.4.0 pytables=3.1.1
The most recent versions of these libraries cause a segfault when writing to HDF5 storage.

It seems they are obsolete, even so I get an error later on now:

%%time
if os.path.exists('accounts.castra'):
    import shutil
    shutil.rmtree('accounts.castra')

c = df.to_castra('accounts.castra', categories=['names'])
df3 = c.to_dask()

ValueError: Expected iterable of tuples of (name, dtype), got ['id', 'names', 'amount']

Using castra 0.1.7

I'm pretty sure that's a castra<->dask (tutorial) API inconsistency, so I add another issue.

Castra is no longer supported

oh wow, pity. sounded like a good idea.

[mrocklin]

It was, but developer time is finite. Still waiting there if anyone wants to pick it up.
