numpy in Python 3.6: Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed

Question

Can anyone help me with this error? I don't have any older versions of numpy, and i installed it using pip, i get 1.13.0 version of numpy and I'm working on Windows 10 OS. Any suggestions?

ImportError: 
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed.  Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
files not under version control).  Otherwise reinstall numpy.

Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

You are, apparently, a victim of issue 9272 . numpy is built against Python 3.6.1 but you're using Python 3.6.0 .

Based on the discussion there, you should just upgrade to Python 3.6.1 to get it to work. It does seem like they will build on 3.6.0 too, though, follow that issue to keep track of that.
