installing scipy package in windows

Question

I want to install scipy packages and I know it's a repetitive question, but I have tried all of them but I didn't find a proper solution.
when write this : import scipy
it executes successfully. but when I try this:

import scipy.spatial    

I receive this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):  

File "C:/Users/Hamid/Documents/kodeyaro/kodefolani.py", line 41, in <module>  

from scipy.spatial import Delaunay  

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\spatial\__init__.py", line 92, in module>  

 from .qhull import *  

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.  

what should I do?

Answer 1

below re-installation will fix the issue as required dll will be placed at right place. user should have admin permissions on the system.

python -m pip install scipy --upgrade --force

Answer 2

Run this in the cmd:

pip install scipy

It is advisable to run cmd as Adminstrator.

Answer 3

I faced this problem when I switched to python38. Build was failing while scipy installation.

I solved by using prebuilt libs from Prof: Gohlke

Install appropriate numpy+mkl version using --force argument

pip install numpy-1.17.3+mkl-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl --force
