h5py import error

[fractral]

The version h5py==2.7.1 leads to an import error on Ubuntu 16.04 Python 3.7.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/<username>/programs/anaconda3/envs/python3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/h5py/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>

Could it be that Python 3.6. is required?

As described in the requirements section of the readme, we've tested the repository with python 3.5. However, I don't know if thats the reason for your error. You might try a different version of h5py. As far as I remember, we ran into issues with h5py as well and thus had to specify this version.

Thanks. I will try it.
