Scikit-image: Is the "TypeError("'NoneType' object is not callable",)" exception still not be settled when import skimage.segmentation?

[wenchieh]

I find the earliest bug reporting about "the program will throw exception after exit when import skimage.segmentation" was issued in Dec 7, 2014. But I still get in the same trouble in version 0.11.3 in ubuntu 14.04 64bits and python 2.7.

here is the test code example:

 import numpy as np
 from PIL import Image
 from skimage import segmentation

 img = np.array(Image.open('test.jpg'))
 segs = segmentation.slic(img, n_segments=100, sigma=5)
 print segs.shape

which throws the exception:

Exception TypeError: TypeError("'NoneType' object is not callable",) in <bound method UmfpackContext.new_del of <scipy.sparse.linalg.dsolve.umfpack.umfpack.UmfpackContext object at 0xb56bb1cc>> ignored**

Although I only import the related packages and libraries, the same exception still occurs.
I'm looking forward someone could give me a hand, thank you!

Update scipy, that should solve the problem.

Thank you for you suggestion, It does solve the problem after updating the scipy from v0.13.0 to v0.17.0,
