setup issues with vbench or pytz or pandas

[Tom Augspurger]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused with this one.  I'm setting up a vbench for statsmodels here, and I'm basing it off pandas'.

When I try to run something like `python test_perf.py -h` from the `vb_suite` module I get this traceback:

(pandas-dev)Toms-MacBook-Pro:vb_suite tom$ python test_perf.py -h

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'timezone'

Which is odd since when I open up an interpreter, the command work fine.  Has anyone else had this problem?

I should add that this is from the pandas repository, not my statsmodels branch.

I'll start a GH issue if need be, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something dumb first.

Is there a file (or directory) called `pytz` nearby? Maybe it's that. I personally vbench to be very finicky on OSX (unfortunately)

[Tom Augspurger]

It's some kind of import issue from within the `pandas/vbench` directory specifically (i.e. not just from `pandas` and not from, say, `statsmodels/vbench`.  If I find anything out I'll push a fix up to the vbench repo.
