Package: pymca
Version: 4.4.1p1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

since the upload of python-h5py, the hdf5 part of pymca is broken.

here what's happend, when I tryed a import

In [3]: from PyMca import HDF5Widget

here you can find the documentation of h5py explaining the changes

http://h5py.alfven.org/docs-2.0/intro/whatsnew.html#the-h5error-exception-
class-has-been-removed-along-with-h5py-h5e

the affected files are

phynx/multichannelanalyzer.py:from .exceptions import H5Error
phynx/multichannelanalyzer.py:            except H5Error:
phynx/exceptions.py:from h5py import H5Error
