ok, in your branch it's still there but once I remove `proj=proj`, the error goes but is replaced with a new one which is (almost) Greek to me:

```python
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mainakjas/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mne/realtime/epochs.py", line 14, in <module>
    from .. import verbose, fiff
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
```

basically, most of the errors seem to come from `realtime/epochs.py` - probably it needs more fixes by @mluessi
