Hi,

Thanks for providing this useful tool! I tried to run tutorial but with the following error

I wondered how I could solve this?

Best,

Looking for the suggestions for the same problem.

It seems this is probably a version issue in the package "tables". Could you please start a python3 session in MAESTRO conda environment, and run "import tables" to see whether it works? If it fails, is it possible to change the package tables version to 3.7.0 or 3.6.1?

[wangjk321]

pip install tables==3.7.0
pip install numpy==1.21

May fix the bug
