Yes! Sorry forgot to document. This has to do with this issue: pysal/spint#16. Until it's resolved, removing that single notebook (glm_speed.ipynb) should work. Please report back if there're further problems or feel free to close the issue when worked out.

Works great on my mac after deleting glm_speed.ipynb!
