[SciPy-User] Strange import behaviour

[Carlos Baptista]

Dear all,

I have come across a very strange behaviour of Scipy. It has to do with
importing and using Scipy functions.

For example, this works:

>>> import scipy.sparse as ss
>>> ss
<module 'scipy.sparse' from
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/sparse/__init__.pyc'>

However this does not work:

>>> import scipy as sp
>>> sp.sparse
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-2-0c35c470f8a4>", line 1, in <module>
    sp.sparse
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'sparse'

The above example is merely a condensation of my real problem (using
spsolve from scipy.sparse.linalg). What might cause this problem?

Kind regards,

Carlos
