Problem with TravisCI build

Something is wrong with scikit-image and travis

@rhsimplex I needed to build scikit on Travis as well, and did so by using the following as my install step in .travis.yml:

install:
  - pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
  - pip install --only-binary=numpy,scipy numpy scipy
  - pip install -r requirements.txt

Did you try the only-binary installation for scipy + numpy?

Thanks for the tip, I will look into it if I have time. It actually appears to be working now, aside from a failed equals: https://travis-ci.org/ascribe/image-match

Amen! Maybe things have since changed on the Travis side to make scikit easier to install. Either way, thanks for this awesome work!
