Title:
  python-tables package not usable

Status in “pytables” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Version:
    raring
    Description:       Ubuntu 13.04
    Release:              13.04

  package-version:
    python-tables:
      Installiert:           2.4.0-1ubuntu1
      Installationskandidat: 2.4.0-1ubuntu1
      Versionstabelle:
     *** 2.4.0-1ubuntu1 0
            500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/universe amd64 Packages
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Expected behaviour:
    No Exceptions on import of the provided python module (tables).

  Instead a ValueError occurs:
    ValueError: numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling

  Long description:

  after installing the python-tables package it is not possible to
  import the tables module (that is provided by the package).

  to reproduce just try to run the following code after installing the python-tables package:
    python -c 'import tables'

  here the Exception/Output:
  ----
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tables/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
      from tables.utilsExtension import getPyTablesVersion, getHDF5Version
    File "numpy.pxd", line 155, in init tables.utilsExtension (tables/utilsExtension.c:14478)
  ValueError: numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling
  ----

  So the problem seems to be related to a wrong numpy version when
  compiling python-tables.

  A possible hint/workaround: installation of python-tables using pip works fine:
    pip install tables
  (you may need a sudo if you're not on a virtualenv)
