Cant install PyTables at windows

I try to install the PyTables module. I use Windows 7 (x32), Python 2.7.3 (x32), Cython 0.16, Visual Studio 2008 (9.0). At cmd.exe 'run as administrator' write: 'python setup.py install --hdf5="C:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\1.8.9"'.

But there are unresolved external symbols and build failed:

* Found numpy 1.6.2 package installed.
* Found numexpr 2.0.1 package installed.
* Found Cython 0.16 package installed.
* Found HDF5 headers at ``C:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\1.8.9\include``, libra
ry at ``C:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\1.8.9\lib``.
* Could not find LZO 2 headers and library; disabling support for it.
* Could not find LZO 1 headers and library; disabling support for it.
* Could not find bzip2 headers and library; disabling support for it.

Solution

  • Installing Python packages with C extensions from source on Windows is difficult. Luckily, there are people who build these kits and make them available: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pytables

    Install it from a binary kit, you'll be much happier.
