[pymvpa] trouble using tutorials

[Adam Jones]

I'm still really struggling to get any paths frommvpa2.cfg outside of those
specific ipython notebooks, even when I try running it from Qt console.
Ipython seems neat, but I'd really rather avoid porting all of my analysis
to these ipython notebooks. I'm very eager to start using mvpa2, if I can
get it configured correctly.
