legacy folders

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't think this is a pysal bug per se, but it can result in pysal not 
functioning correctly.  

The folder pysal/trunk/pysal/spatial_dynamics/markov/ and all the .py files 
inside were deleted some time ago from the repository.   However, my local hard 
drive had some .pyc files in there so subversion did not remove the folder from 
my computer.   The result is "import pysal" fails with the following error:

In [1]: import pysal
ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid
The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (5, 0))

I know that the solution is to simply delete this old folder.  However, a user 
came to me today not understanding why "import pysal" stopped working after 
updating their local repository.  And the error returned by python does not 
immediately point to this folder as the troublemaker.

This is an SVN issue.  SVN is set to ignore pyc files so it think they are 
private files and does not delete them.  You can safely remove the dead files 
manually.  You can use the `svn stat` commend to help find dead files.
