I see there was a problem in reading fdsn in January. I am having the same sort of difficulty now. This simple request is not working:

from obspy.clients.iris import Client

I get the following error message:

```python

```

Hi,

please update to ObsPy 1.0.0.

For ObsPy 0.9.x and 0.10.x you have to do

from obspy.iris import Client

Best to also use the `obspy.clients.fdsn` client. Not all web service of  
the original `obspy.iris` clients are still active.

Cheers!
