tables package for Python 3.9.1?

This is my first question on here. Thank you very much in advance for your support.
I'm using Python 3.9.1 on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine and I've been trying to install the tables package by pip install tables but I always got the following error:
pip install tables

Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
I don't understand the error message but I suspect that it has to do with my Python version.
I did install all the prerequisite packages suggested on the tables' homepage but I still got the error while installing the tables package.
I also tried to install with .whl file, too but there was no file with cp39 in its name (which led me to the conclusion that there's no compatible version for Python 3.9 yet, but I might be wrong.)
Is there a way to install tables with Python 3.9.1? Thank you very much.

I've downloaded and installed the tables-3.6.1-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl from this unofficial Windows binaries archive
Installed it with pip install tables-3.6.1-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
update
The package was removed from the above link. I've found another source:

latest binary is C:\LLVM\clang-1100\LLVM\bin
I also have VS 1017 and 1019 installed, and all compilers are working OK from other IDEs and builds.
and downloaded the most recent wheel
llvmlite-0.34.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

This suggests that the output folder location is not specified, or that VS incremental build option is not set to 'not used'.
Or that I should use an LLVM version, but I don't know how to specify which one, and not use VS2017.
Suggestions how to get out of this rabbit hole most welcome ;-)
Thanks
Paul

I wanted to install librosa but I get stack with this error, but I managed to solve it with this:
first I download the last version of llvmlite Here
than I run the following command:
pip install llvmlite-0.35.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
next for all packages need by librosa I install them as follow:
pip install --no-deps packageName
or just for more sample do as follow :
pip install librosa --ignore-installed llvmlite

Failure to install python package (osmium)

I am trying to install a python package called osmium into a virtual environment that I created with venv. With the virtual environment activated and from the Scripts directory of the virtual environment, calling
pip install osmium
fails (error message below). I am using pycharm as an IDE. Attempting to install osmium via the IDE also fails.
Interestingly, I have a colleague with the identical computer and identical versions of python and pycharm who succeeded in installing osmium. He relied directly on the virtual environment created by pycharm (which, I think, uses virtualenv instead of venv), never using venv and had no problem.
I even went as far as reinstalling both python and pycharm to no avail. I wonder what's going on here. Why is this happening in the first place? And what is causing the failure even after reinstalling (do some traces of python and pycharm remain?)
The error message is:
D:\virtual_envs\test_env\Scripts>activate

I entered "pip install vpython" into the windows command prompt. After several minutes of downloading, pip gave me the following error:

The immediate fix is to install jupyter before you install vpnotebook:
pip install jupyter
Thanks for reporting this; in the future issues posted at either the location #user1114907 indicated or at the main github repo: https://github.com/BruceSherwood/vpython-jupyter/issues

This appears to be a bug in vpnotebook, upon which vpython depends. Trying to install vpnotebook in both Python 2.7 and 3.5 fails with the same error, which appears to have been caused by the package's authors not even using a basic linter. I would suggest reporting this to said authors, but there are no contact details, repositories, or project websites listed on the package's PyPI page.

If your python version is greater than 2.7.9, skip to step 3
Install python version > 2.7.9 [2.7.14 is the latest]
Download latest version of python
extract the archive
./configure
make
make install
Download and re-install pip
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py
Install jupyter First
sudo pip install jupyter
Then, install vpython
sudo pip install vpython

As I cannot comment due to my lack of 50 reputation, I will 'comment' in an answer.
Although you may be admin, you still have to type sudo before you do anything...
To check if your account has admin privileges, type sudo bash in your terminal, and if it says myusername is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported., then you aren't an admin.
Here is a short demonstration of the above:

Or you could combine the first two steps and head into the third one, and if it raises an error when you type in sudo, then you aren't an admin.

Here you go! You need admin privilege to do it. Type sudo python get-pip.py and enter the admin password.
It will automatically install pip-6.1.1 for you.

This appears to be because the default version of Python, shipped with the OSX operating system, requires sudo permissions to run in a few places.
In general you probably shouldn't be developing with the operating system version of python, and I personally prefer never to sudo install anything that doesn't obviously need root access.
Instead of using the default version, install a user-specific Python installation with Homebrew.
brew install python
And then you get the pip command properly installed for free!
