Actually, up to now (during a short time, anyway) I have always used
"import <module>" without having any special reason to avoid "from
<module> import *" :-).
In the case of scipy I just tried out the first thing that's written
in its short tutorial and

the same is with that:

>>> import scipy
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
