not work with 2.7 and 3.4, I assume it is a circular reference from the

Yes. You can't use `scipy.stats.stats` in `scipy.stats._continuous_distns`.
At least, not as a top-level import. You might locally import
`rvs_ratio_unif` inside the method where it is used, with appropriate
comments. Otherwise, you may find another place to define that function
where both modules can import it.
