python 2.7 - ImportError when importing certain modules from SciPY

Question

I have used Scipy for some time. This is the first time I am using it for Signal processing! But when I import modules like

from scipy import signal
from scipy import special

I get the error:

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

I am using Python 2.7.3 with Scipy 0.12.0 on 32-Bit Windows.

What should I do ?

Answer 1

This problem can be solved if instead of installing the usual numpy distribution, the numpy-MKL package is installed. This package is available here.

Do remove the previous installation before going with the new one!
