[AstroPy] missing modules in ipython notebook

[Luke Zoltan Kelley]

using 'import astropy.io' does let me access 'io' --- but then not 'io.ascii' (for example).
However, when I use 'import astropy.io' I also get access to 'astropy.table' (which I wasn't before).

Why are modules loading in such a different way from how they do in ipython (or just python)?
