Because I screwed up just before the numpy 1.0.3 release and removed that
deprecated function without realizing that scipy 0.5.2 still used it.

This is fixed in the SVN scipy.

Thank you so much Robert Kern for your immediate reply. Can you please 
tell me how to get SVN SciPy or what patches I should apply to 0.5.2 
version of SciPy to eliminate this error?

Thanks again for your help and time,

Anand
