If you have the old scipy installed as an egg, and scipy_core and the
new scipy installed as eggs, too, then to select the old version:

  pkg_resources.require('scipy-complete')

To select the new version:

  pkg_resources.require('scipy-core')
  pkg_resources.require('SciPy')

We really should fix the capitalization in the full scipy setup.py .
