The new 1.10 version of hdf5 library is stable. You can now install from the source to use this new capability.
The installation process has a few caveats, so here is how to do it.
- you need to first remove the hdf5 libraries currently installed in ubuntu.
- Then you need to reinstall
h5py
. - when you reinstall h5py via pip, use the
--no-binary
flag. This is because the h5py wheel comes with its own hdf5 binary.
