[pytables-users] Troubles with executing benchmarks

[Rohit]

Hi devs,

It probably is a silly post but I've been trying to run PyTables'
benchmarks without any success.

It would really help if you could address the following :
1. It seems that most of the benchmarks depend on the existence of a
`datafile`; is there a way to generate this files via some internal script?
2. Also, while trying to run bench-pytables.sh, the execution kept exiting
with an error message stating that "data.nobackup is not found". Is there
an automated way to generate this directory?

Thanks,
Rohit
