AFAIK the name switch which removed the plural and added the dash happened in the transition from 0.7.x to 0.8. That’s a long time ago; around my first PR! It’s a long time in advance of the addition of the blob_* functions. I think it’s possible Chris Gohlke maintained installers separately for the old name until recently. If so, you probably have version 0.7ish. To let us know your version number, open a Python shell and run

...

...

import skimage>>> print skimage.__version__

(In any event, switching to the Anaconda distribution would almost certainly fix this and allow painless updates to the entire ecosystem… without even requiring elevated privileges!)

Stéfan, the blob_* functions are supposed to be in 0.10 and up...

Alright, then further investigation is needed. Hans, can you let us know your version number?
