ImportError with scipy

[Yash Agarwal]

Hello,

I am trying to use scipy.stats, but i keep getting an import error while trying to import the module. I get the same error with "import statsmodels.api as sm". I tried rolling back to an older version of scipy (1.6.2 -> 1.6.1) but i got the same error with a different import (instead of "from . import _arpack", "from . import _fblas"). Are there any settings or options i need to check to make the imports work?

Traceback:

Thanks in advance!
