[pymvpa] problem importing mvpa2.suite

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

I believe it is just a matter of upgrading mdp you have

meanwhile -- a configurational workaround is to disable MDP bindings --
just edit your ~/.pymvpa2.cfg and add

[externals]
have mdp = no

that should prevent it from check if MDP is available etc (do you need it
within PyMVPA?)
