Issue 31090: import error for numpy (original) (raw)

When i tried to import numpy for any program in VS 2017, it returns with Import Error.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\core_init_.py", line 16, in from . import multiarray ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

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.

Hi Sriram,

NumPy is a third party package, not maintained by the Python core developers; you likely need to report this on the NumPy bug tracker (though it's probably worthwhile asking on the NumPy user mailing lists first).

Closing here, since this almost certainly isn't a core Python issue.
