ho ho -- that might be the source of the problem (something spyder
injects having assumptions on ipython's version)

so I was wrong -- it is ipython dependent since script imports it ;)

should if import succeeds... now I see that we recommend this way in the
FAQ but I guess we better advise not to import 'as mvpa2' but better as
'as mv'.  

anyways -- if you imported it 'as mvpa2' and there were no errors you
must be able to

print mvpa2.wtf()

if it doesn't work -- again -- copy/paste entire "protocol of struggle"
not just the last error ;)  so just do

in your shell start ipython:

ipython

in ipython shell do

import mvpa2
print mvpa2.wtf()

it must work and it would provide us all information neeeded
