title: Python: troubleshooting scikit-image module installation
body: <p>I've been using python for a while but want to extend it's capabilities. I've installed SciPy and it's related packages via <a href="http://continuum.io/downloads" rel="nofollow">Anaconda</a>, created the py3k environment as per <a href="http://continuum.io/blog/anaconda-python-3" rel="nofollow">these instructions</a>, and every module I tested seems to work fine - except for one I particularly want to use.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to run the Getting Started example on the <a href="http://scikit-image.org/" rel="nofollow">frontpage of scikit-image</a> I end up with <a href="http://pastebin.com/uGAwS1j5" rel="nofollow">this error</a>. I tried installing scikit-image (and it's dependencies) separately, when I did the script ran without errors but no image appeared.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from skimage import data, io, filter
  
  image = data.coins() # or any NumPy array!
  edges = filter.sobel(image)
  io.imshow(edges)
  </code></pre>
