Missing pytables dependence after pip install

[juseg]

Is pytables a required dependence missing from setup.cfg? After install with pip:

$ python -c "import oggm; oggm.cfg.initialize()"

Thanks! Yes indeed. Note that setup.cfg does not list all OGGM requirements, only the necessary ones. PyTables should definitely be added though

The install doc page lists pytables as of master
