ERROR: Failed building wheel for tables Building wheel for timezonefinder (pyproject.toml) ... done  Following the Github issue I tried building and installing the latest version of tables like so: python setup.py build --hdf5=/opt/homebrew/opt/hdf5 --use-pkgconfig=FALSE --blosc=/opt/homebrew/opt/c-blosc --lzo=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/lzo/2.10 --bzip2=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/bzip2/1.0.8 python setup.py install --hdf5=/opt/homebrew/opt/hdf5  Then, the test suite of tables fails with: python3 -m tables.tests.test_all ─╯ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<frozen runpy>", line 189, in _run_module_as_main File "<frozen runpy>", line 112, in _get_module_details File "/Users/xyz/projects-my/PyTables/tables/__init__.py", line 42, in <module> from .utilsextension import get_hdf5_version as _get_hdf5_version ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tables.utilsextension' 

Answer: I managed to reproduce your issue, the problem seems to be installing the package from PyPi. From the error message it seems the Cython cannot find lzo libraries. The solution of the mentioned GitHub thread seems to be installing c-blosc, which also did not fix the problem for me. There are two options that worked for me:  install the package from GitHub  pip3 install git+https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables   install the package using conda  conda install -c anaconda pytables
