I usually see this message when I try to import igraph straight from the folder 
where I unpacked the source code of the C interface. Since the source tarball 
of the Python interface contains a folder named "igraph", Python tries to 
import the igraph._igraph module from there but of course it won't find the 
module because it has been compiled somewhere deep in build/ and installed in 
/usr/local. The solution is simply to change to another folder that does not 
contain a subfolder named "igraph".

If it didn't work for you, let me know and we'll figure it out.

Cheers,
Tamas
