I created a file by using:
store = pd.HDFStore(\'/home/.../data.h5\')
and stored some tables using:
store[\'firstSet\'] = df1 s
I had the same problem and finally fixed it by installing the pytables module (next to the pandas modules which I was using):
conda install pytables
which got me numexpr-2.4.3 and pytables-3.2.0
After that it worked. I am using pandas 0.16.2 under python 2.7.9
