How to install scipy misc package
Question: I have installed (actually reinstalled) scipy:

    
    
    10_x86_64.whl (19.8MB): 19.8MB downloaded
    Installing collected packages: scipy
    Successfully installed scipy
    

But the misc subpackage is apparently not included?

    
    
    16:03:28/shared $ipython
    In [1]: from scipy.misc import imread
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
    <ipython-input-1-f9d3d927b58f> in <module>()
    ----> 1 from scipy.misc import imread
    
    ImportError: cannot import name imread
    

What is the way to install the scipy.misc package?


Answer: I think you need to install PIL as well. From [the scipy.misc
docs:](http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/misc.html)

> Note that the Python Imaging Library (PIL) is not a dependency of SciPy and
> therefore the pilutil module is not available on systems that don’t have PIL
> installed.
