This PR simplifies the testing configuration mess. It simply skips a couple of tests that we know will fail due to Anaconda+Python3+Linux problems. All of the tests will still run on the Python 2.7 build.
Some history... In PR #90 I reconfigured Travis to build numpy, pandas, and scipy, if necessary. That has turned out be a poor solution. The tests take forever to run and often fail because of the long time that it takes to compile scipy. I'm also in the process of creating a PR with forecasting tools (see #86), which will require more tests for optional dependencies, and that will benefit from a simplified testing configuration.
I'll merge in 24 hours unless there are objections.
