Comment (by stefan):

 The only way that should happen is if the scipy installation directory is
 on the PYTHONPATH.

 Correct:

 {{{
 export PYTHONPATH="/home/stefan/lib/python2.5/site-packages"
 }}}

 Incorrect:

 {{{
 export PYTHONPATH="/home/stefan/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scipy"
 }}}

 One way to ensure that this doesn't happen is to import numpy.__config__
 instead of __config__, but that doesn't protect against having a previous
 numpy installation on the PYTHONPATH.
