python - AttributeError: 'module' object (scipy) has no attribute 'misc'

Question

I updated from ubuntu 12.04 to ubuntu 12.10 and the python module I have written suddenly no longer works with the error message that the module scipy does not have the attribute 'misc'. This worked previously. I am still using python 2.7 after the update. Here is where the code crashes

import scipy
scipy.misc.imsave(slice,dat)

Any ideas?

Answer 1

>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.misc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'misc'
>>> 
>>> 
>>> import scipy.misc
>>> scipy.misc.imsave
<function imsave at 0x19cfa28>
>>>

Which seems to be quite common with scipy.
