Answer 1

This is what I found here:

The scipy.maxentropy module, which was deprecated in the 0.10.0 release, has been removed. Logistic regression in scikits.learn is a good and modern alternative for this functionality.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

The lates version of scipy is 0.19 and maxentropy module will not work with 0.11 or higher versions. If you have 0.11 or higher than try to download and install scipy 0.10 from the link below:

DOWNLOAD LINK TO SCIPY 0.10: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scipy/0.10.1
