Error while importing statsmodel

[shalu....@gmail.com]

I am using Spyder 2.7 version (Windows) and then imported module name statsmodels-0.8.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl.

It is installed successfully. Now when I am trying to import it like

from statsmodels.formula.api import ols or import statsmodels.api as sm

it is giving an error:

import statsmodels.api as sm Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64\lib\site-packages\statsmodels__init__.py", line 8, in from .tools.sm_exceptions import (ConvergenceWarning, CacheWriteWarning, File "C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64\lib\site-packages\statsmodels\tools__init__.py", line 1, in from .tools import add_constant, categorical File "C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64\lib\site-packages\statsmodels\tools\tools.py", line 8, in from scipy.linalg import svdvals File "C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64\lib\site-packages\scipy\linalg__init__.py", line 172, in from .misc import * File "C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64\lib\site-packages\scipy\linalg\misc.py", line 5, in from .blas import get_blas_funcs File "C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-2.7.10.3\python-2.7.10.amd64\lib\site-packages\scipy\linalg\blas.py", line 155, in from scipy.linalg import _fblas ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks

That looks like your scipy is incorrectly installed, broken or less likely incompatible with statsmodels or with numpy.

what do you get with just scipy imports?

from scipy import linalg

from scipy import stats

In general I would recommend upgrading to python 3. 

E.g. I have been using WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.5Qt5 for some time now as my main Python version without any problems.

Hi Josef,

Many thanks for the reply.

I am getting this

I think there is some problem with Scipy?

Thanks

Yes, it's unrelated to statsmodels.

I have seen some errors like this a few years ago, but don't remember what it was. I didn't have problems with any WinPython in a long time, but I also haven't used python 2 in a long time.

Thanks Josef for your reply.

I installed WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.5Qt5 as you suggested.

Could you please send me the link so I can download Pandas, Scipy and GDAL for this version?

Thanks

You could have also installed whatever the latest winpython is.

I never used GDAL, but scipy and pandas are already installed.

I would not change the scipy version unless you know what you are doing.

a more recent pandas version can be installed with pip install

otherwise the gohlke binaries should work with winpython.
