title: Cannot import scipy.misc.imread
body: <p>I've seen this problem before with other people, but haven't found a fix.</p>
  
  <p>All I'm trying to do is:</p>
  
  <p><code>from scipy.misc import imread</code></p>
  
  <p>and I get </p>
  
  <pre><code>/home1/users/joe.borg/&lt;ipython-input-2-f9d3d927b58f&gt; in &lt;module&gt;()
  ----&gt; 1 from scipy.misc import imread
  
  /software/Python/272/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/misc/__init__.py in &lt;module&gt;()
       16 try:
       17     from pilutil import *
  ---&gt; 18     __all__ += pilutil.__all__
       19 except ImportError:
       20     pass
  
  NameError: name 'pilutil' is not defined
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it's fine when I do <code>from pilutil import *</code> on its own (no import error).  Even .../site-packages/scipy/misc/pilutil.py exists so I've got no idea why this is failing.</p>
