ndimage is not in SciPy

Question

I tried to import ndimage package from SciPy to use the maximum filter in it. However, it seems SciPy is missing this part. I got this error:

from scipy.linalg import _fblas
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I even tried these as well (separately):

import scipy.ndimage 
from scipy.ndimage.filters import maximum_filter
import ndimage form scipy

But I still get the same error.

The complete error is:

Answer 1

I tried two methods and they helped me to solve this problem:

1- Uninstall SciPy and NumPy and reinstall them again,

2- If you are using SciPy 1.0.0 , downgrade it to a previous version (eg I downgraded it to SciPy 0.19.1 ). This one was suggested by @Brad Solomon

I'm sure one of these is the solution!
