I have installed (actually reinstalled) scipy:

10_x86_64.whl (19.8MB): 19.8MB downloaded
Installing collected packages: scipy
Successfully installed scipy

But the misc subpackage is apparently not included?

16:03:28/shared $ipython
In [1]: from scipy.misc import imread
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 from scipy.misc import imreadImportError: cannot import name imread

What is the way to install the scipy.misc package?

I think you need to install PIL as well. From the scipy.misc docs:

Note that the Python Imaging Library (PIL) is not a dependency of SciPy and therefore the pilutil module is not available on systems that don’t have PIL installed.
