import fail on Ubuntu

When I do import loom on Sanger, I get the following error:

Any idea why?

ImportErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-d7c1c8d2b116> in <module>()

ImportError: cannot import name LoomCache

I seem to have temporarily resolved on my local installation removing this two lines,

from .loom_cache import LoomCache
from .loom_server import start_server

this probably breaks most of loom functionality but the loompy parsers are ok

Has this been resolved, @gioelelm?

The hack is to comment out this lines in python 2.7. According the documentation should be possibile to fix this by adding this line at the beginning of the init.py file:

from __future__ import absolute_import

I haven't had the time to test it though...

For future references of this kind of problem this resource is fantastic: http://python-future.org/compatible_idioms.html

I think this has now been resolved by splitting the packages
