I can now answer my own question!  So if there are those in the future 
who suffer the same problem...

The problem was that I launched python from within the directory where I 
compiled python-igraph.  When I moved out of this directory (for example 
by opening a new terminal), I no longer saw this error (as I was now 
importing igraph from the PYTHONPATH and not from the current directory).

Hope this helps someone!
