I was looking for a hdf5 viewer for windows and came across vitables. However, vitables requires sip, which has all kinds of install problems under Anaconda... another alternative would be HDFview, but that requires a full Java installation (I use Python).

Are there really no standalone HDF5 viewers or am I missing some important point here?!? Or is HDF5 out and e.g. HDFS in? :P

I was like you and got fed up. I decided to develope one myself for my rudimentary needs. It's a visualization tool in Python for pytables and I just released it. It's called WiTables:

It works on windows as long as you can install a web server that works with wsgi.

You can install https://anaconda.org/clinicalgraphics/vitables using 

conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/clinicalgraphics vitables

and then run vitables using:

python D:\Anaconda\Scripts\vitables
