Error ReportingIncorrect or improved errors from pandasIncorrect or improved errors from pandas
Description
I tried reading an hd5 file with the latest pandas and got this import error:
ImportError: Missing optional dependency 'pytables'. Use pip or conda to install pytables.
So I tried pip install pytables
and got this error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pytables (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pytables
So then I went searching on PyPI and apparently there are no packages named pytables
: https://pypi.org/search/?q=pytables
I did find the PyTables project on GitHub though, which says that we need to use pip install tables
to install it. After installing tables
, the hd5 read operation worked.
So, we need to install tables, not pytables, which is definitely confusing and not obvious. I think it would be very helpful if the error message indicated this to avoid having to go through the search process above.
