Unfortunately this port has no maintainer currently. Cc'ing some past contributors in the hope they can help.

the issue is in from numpy import typeDict - this function has been deprecated.

Probably updating the port to its latest upstream version

❯ port livecheck
py-tables seems to have been updated (port version: 3.6.1, new version: 3.8.0)

will resolve the issue. I quickly tried to do this but it seems there are additional dependencies now and/or something else has changed so only a quick-and-dirty version change isn't sufficient. I am not using this port so am not that motivated to put time in it, but who knows if there is a spare hour at some point ;)

In fb8a6ed93328c9d8c74967a8a858a48498710e95/macports-ports (master):

py-tables: update to 3.8.0

Keeping at latest supported versions for 27 through 37, which still
have dependents.
