Import Error in Numpy, fresh install

[Wyatt Storches]

Hello,

Just now installed on windows 7 64 bit machine.  Used all default settings, after having uninstalled all previous versions using the msi and then deleting all registry values left behind by (all) the other installations I gave up on (because I couldn't get numpy and/or scipy to work).

So the first thing I tried was;

>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 137, in <module>
    import add_newdocs
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module>

    from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 13, in <modul

    from linalg import *

le>
    from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
>>>

<Sigh> 

There IS a lapack_lite.pyd file in that directory.
Any help anyone could offer would be most happily appreciated.  Thanks!

You can check with dependency walker which DLL fails to load. It is probably a dll that is being loaded by lapack_lite.pyd

1) file->open->python.exe
(wait a bit...)
2) profile->start profiling->OK
(python starts)
3) in the Python prompt: import numpy

Thank you for this, it will come in handy in the future.

As to the original complaint, it sorted itself after a reboot.
