pip-review :: ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Question

I want to update all Python modules.

On StackOverflow I found what I think is the best solution at this page.

Unfortunately if I run:

$ pip install pip-review
$ pip-review --local --interactive

Python works for a few minutes, downloading and collecting modules updates, then royally fails with error:

       You may need to explicitly state where your local HDF5 headers and
       library can be found by setting the ``HDF5_DIR`` environment
       variable or by using the ``--hdf5`` command-line option.

I search for this error but it looks a general error to me and I don't know what direction to take in order to debug this problem.
