Hello, I'm learning to use scikit-allel, but got stumped with the first step to read in HDF5 file following thetutorial:

callset_fn = 'data/2016-06-10/ag1000g.phase1.ar3.h5'
callset = h5py.File(callset_fn, mode='r')
callset
# <HDF5 file "ag1000g.phase1.ar3.h5" (mode r)>
chrom = '3L'
variants = allel.VariantChunkedTable(callset[chrom]['variants'], 
                                     names=['POS', 'REF', 'ALT', 'DP', 'MQ', 'QD', 'num_alleles'],
                                     index='POS')
"""

assert callable(allel.VariantChunkedTable)
#nothing

Tried using a new h5df file converted freshly from VCF file, the error stays the same.
I'm using # scikit-allel 1.3.8 and # h5py 3.11.0.
Does anyone have any clue on the issue? Thanks a lot!
