I've upgraded scipy to the latest version (0.15) via pip install scipy 
--upgrade. I wanted to do this to use a new algorithm for optimization 
problems. After upgrading, I've opened my scipy and just tried from scipy 
import optimize and got the following error (see point below)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Traceback (most recent call last):
