Importing wordcloud using Jupyter Notebook (Python)

Question

I am using jupyter Notebook(conda root). The python version I am running is 2.7

I am having a hard time getting wordcloud installed into my environment. Here's the code

from wordcloud import WordCloud

But I got this error:

ImportErrorTraceback (most recent call last)

     59     if PILLOW_VERSION != getattr(core, 'PILLOW_VERSION', None):
     60         raise ImportError("The _imaging extension was built for another "

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

Can anyone explain what is this error? I need to use world cloud for my homework assignment

Answer 1

You have problem with part of python Pillow module: with a library, that builds from _imaging.c . Try to reinstall python Pillow module from .exe package, not with pip .
