Vitables 3.0.2 doesn't start

[HealthyPear]

Setup

• OS: macOS Big Sur version 11.2.3 (20D91)
• conda: 4.9.2
• vitables: 3.0.2

Steps to reproduce

• conda create -n vitables python=3.8
• conda install -c conda-forge vitables
• vitables file.h5

Result

Instead of opening vitables there is just a python process hanging indefinitely and the application seems to not respond.

I tried also:

• using pip to install the package
• python 3.7
• python 3.9
• development version from git-clones repository

The problem seems to be related to Qt on Mac and it seems to be solved by setting the environment variable QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER to 1, so e.g. this works

QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1 vitables some_file.h5

Same here, but on a Win10. Same on a 64bit Win7 machine.

With this configuration and both python 3.8 and 3.9 I cannot reproduce this problem anymore for some reason....

pyqt                      5.15.7           py38h872f513_3    conda-forge
pyqt5-sip                 12.11.0          py38haf9be31_3    conda-forge
qt-main                   5.15.8              h23c57ac_13    conda-forge
qtpy                      2.3.1              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge

and for python>=3.10 issue #118 pops out.

Is the problem present in 3.0.3 package too?
