Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
import pandas
data = pandas.read_hdf(<h5_file_name>, mode='r', key=key)
Problem description
When trying to read HDF5 file and the requested key object does not exist in the file, pandas pytables raises KeyError('No object named {key} in the file'.)
and does not close the opened file. I would expect that the HDF5 file is closed after trying to read the key object, whether it was successful or not.

The problematic code is in pandas.io.pytables.py
file, method select
, line 712.
Workaround
Check if the key exists before trying to read it from file.
import h5py
key_exists = True
with h5py.File(<h5_file_name>, mode='r') as file:
group = file.get(key)
if not group:
key_exists = False
if key_exists:
...
