[SciPy-User] scipy.linalg.blas before 0.12.0

[Skipper Seabold]

Hi,

More feeling around in the dark. The docs [1] state that the low-level
functions scipy.linalg.blas are new in 0.12.0. However,

>>> import scipy as sp
>>> sp.__version__
'0.9.0'
>>> import scipy.linalg.blas
>>> scipy.linalg.blas.cblas.dgemm._cpointer
<PyCObject object at 0x2a94788>

What am I missing? Is this just my build and it's not guaranteed? Can
I still reliably do things like this [2,3] with scipy < 0.12.0?
