I have noticed in the past that if you try to `import scipy` from within the scipy directory, it raises the following: ImportError: Error importing scipy: you cannot import scipy while being in scipy source directory; please exit the scipy source tree first, and relaunch your python intepreter.
Importing sklearn from within the scikit-learn source directory produces no such error.
