Question

I just installed scipy (through easy_install scipy), but for some reason scipy.misc is missing.

Take a look at this:

>>> import scipy
>>> scipy
<module 'scipy' from '/home/boda/python-2.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy-0.11.0-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/scipy/__init__.pyc'>
>>> scipy.misc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'misc'

Does anyone know what could have happened? There are literally 0 Google results for scipy.misc missing. I seem to be the first person to whom this has happened.

Answer 1

The modules inside scipy aren’t accessible as attributes of the base scipy package. You need to do import scipy.misc or from scipy import misc.
