I'm not sure that it is a bug.  The del statement in scipy's __init__
makes the behaviour somewhat funny.  All of the following work:


In [1]: import scipy

In [2]: from scipy.scipy_version import scipy_version

In [3]: scipy_version 

Out[3]= '0.2.0'

In [7]: print scipy.__version__
0.2.0

The following wont work though

In [8]: print scipy.scipy_version 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

? 

AttributeError: 'scipy' module has no attribute 'scipy_version'

The reason is that the attribute is deleted in __init__.py.  Why the
attribute is deleted I dont know but if the version is all that is
required scipy.__version__ seems to make more sense that
scipy.scipy_version etc.  So this is not a bug afaik. :)
