New release

[JaRoSchm]

Hi, would you be able to make a new release containing the fixes for numpy 2? The current version doesn't have an upper bound for numpy and thus results in a broken installation.

same problem here. I tried to install it and crashes with the current version of numpy. I had to downgrade to a very old version of numpy 1.24 to get it working. still it is quite limited as I get many warning that pytables do not support the data type in my file (in that case a string) btw my file is .nc not .hd5.....). so not very useful for me

Same issue here, would really appreciate an update...

Edit: I could fix the numpy 2 issue for me with the following:
in ...\site-packages\vitables\utils.py
replace in line 456:
numpy.string_
with
numpy.bytes_

OK. Working on it. A new release fixing the issue will be published ASAP.

btw we desperately need this to work. at the moment there is no tool on the market that allows direct editing of .nc files. Panoply only allow to view things and not even everything, and the only way to edit .nc content is by writing code...so if it works it would really help.

I see in the change logs that the code has been updated in the past months however the pip install still fetches an older one. Any way to get the latest code using pip ?

pip install git+https://github.com/uvemas/ViTables@master

Vitables now starts with the latest version of all packages including PyQT and numpy. version is still 3.0.3.. I would recommend to pop it up to 3.1.
[EDIT]: some crash when I open one of my NetCDF..:

This method is implemented by class 'NSWindow'

[mzundo]

I think we should close this issue since it now works with numpy2

[JaRoSchm]

But the fix for numpy 2 hasn't been released yet, right?

[mzundo]

it works for me but I compiled directly from latest ViTables sources
pip install git+https://github.com/uvemas/ViTables
since pip install ViTables installs an old one that does not work.

[JaRoSchm]

This is exactly what this issue is about. The old version on PyPI is due to a missing new release.

[mzundo]

so yes, the wheel package is apparently missing.

[uvemas]

I haven't forgotten this thread, it's just I have no very much time to work on it. I've been fixing some annoying (at least for me) issues. No more fixes are coming (or it becomes an endless process). I'll try to publish this week.

[uvemas]

Finally a new version has been published in PyPI. The conda-forge package is in progress. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks! And especially thank you for still working on ViTables!
