title: ImportError on scipy.stats
body: <p>I am trying to use a python program, which requires scipy dependency. The <code>scipy</code> dependency is installed, but I need to call <code>scipy.stats</code> and then <code>binom</code> which is within <code>scipy</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I tried the method in these answers:</p>

  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import scipy
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import scipy.stats
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named stats
  &gt;&gt;&gt; from scipy import stats
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: cannot import name stats
  &gt;&gt;&gt; from scipy.stats import binom
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named stats
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not a sudo user and cannot rename a file, but the filename shouldn’t be the problem as it is used in a frequently used server.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions ?</p>
