It has some missing dependencies. You can either:

1. Install Anaconda and switch your python to it. It has built-in dependencies.

2. Download and install missing package manually. In your case it is "scipy". Go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy , select your OS and download. After open cmd in your download folder and launch

    pip install package-name.whl
