Examples don't work, use skimage.io instead of scikits.image about scikit-image

You are using the development documentation against a non-development release. In the git repo, the package has been renamed to skimage.

We'll be making a new release this week, then the two will match.

Why was it renamed?

[stefanv]

Unfortunately, we had no choice. Namespace handling is flawed in Python, leading to conflicts between the different scikits and different installation methodologies. For more information, see posts on the scikits-image and sklearn mailing lists.

If I change skimage to scikits.image, it works.

Which version of skimage do you have? The example you point to is for the
development version, but the latest release is 0.3 (matching example here:
http://scikits-image.org/docs/0.3/auto_examples/plot_hough_transform.html).
The scikit is being renamed from scikits.image to skimage in 0.4, which is
currently in development.
