ImportError: No module named statsmodels.api

[Albert Zhuang]

Hello all,

after I cloned the resource from github: https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels.git

I run 

python setup.py install

python setup.py install

Then when I try to import 

 import statsmodels.api as sm 

 I get the following error 

>>> import statsmodels.api as sm

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from . import (_representation, _kalman_filter, _kalman_smoother,

ImportError: cannot import name _representation

How can I fix this?

I guess it did not compile the cython code correctly.
Check for error messages in `python setup.py install` or try `python
setup.py build_ext` before install and check whether build_ext
completes without error.
