How do you suggest we handle the bottleneck dependency? That is the reason for the failing tests at the moment.

You can either add a try/except around a top level import of bottleneck, or only import bottleneck locally inside functions which need it. I think I would prefer the later approach because it results in more intelligible error messages (ImportError: No module named bottleneck rather than NameError: name 'bottleneck' is not defined).
