Importing the numpy c-extensions failed in VS Code

Getting error with VS Code in installing pkg Numpy and Pandas. Any solution on how we can fix the issue? Thanks.
Error:
from . import _distributor_init
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\Form_validate.py", line 1, in <module>

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy c-extensions failed.
- Try uninstalling and reinstalling numpy.
- If you have already done that, then:
1. Check that you expected to use Python3.7 from "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe",
and that you have no directories in your PATH or PYTHONPATH that can
interfere with the Python and numpy version "1.18.1" you're trying to use.
2. If (1) looks fine, you can open a new issue at
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues. Please include details on:
- how you installed Python
- how you installed numpy
- your operating system
- whether or not you have multiple versions of Python installed
- if you built from source, your compiler versions and ideally a build log
- If you're working with a numpy git repository, try `git clean -xdf`
(removes all files not under version control) and rebuild numpy.
Note: this error has many possible causes, so please don't comment on
an existing issue about this - open a new one instead.
Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

There are two solutions.
The first is to reinstall numpy, including its architecture tools. Reinstall the package by using the following code in sequence:
pip uninstall -y numpy
pip uninstall -y setuptools
pip install setuptools
pip install numpy
The second solution is to add the path to the environment variable. In fact, pylance did not find this file because
File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas_init_.py", line 17,
If you try to make Python output sys.path, you will find that it is anaconda3 instead of Anaconda3.
So, adding the path to environment variable can solve it.

This happens because if VS Code is launched apart, as usual, it will recognize Python from Anaconda setup but will have trouble loading imports.
Fix: Close VS Code. Then open anaconda shell, i.e., the terminal, and from there launch VS code with the comand:
Anaconda_prompt> code
You'll see terminal inside VS Code will run automatically the command:
conda activate base
Then run your program again within VS Code, and should work fine as expected.

python import error when attempting to run / launch Flask application

My Flask Application was working alright and all of a sudden I am seeing this error when I run the command to launch the App locally.
File "/Flask_Trial_App2/index.py", line 6, in <module>

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.
We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html
Please note and check the following:
* The Python version is: Python3.8 from "/Flask_Trial_App/virt/bin/python"
* The NumPy version is: "1.21.1"
and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.
Original error was: No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'
I tried upgrading pandas and numpy, but it didn't fix the issue.
pip install --upgrade numpy
pip install --upgrade pandas

I've had similar issues to this when deploying flask apps on servers with different environments, here is something I've done that worked in the past in case this helps:
Uninstall the package then reinstall specific version using the absolute path to the python executable.
/Flask_Trial_App/virt/bin/python3 -m pip uninstall numpy; /Flask_Trial_App/virt/bin/python3 -m pip install numpy==1.21.1
Hope that may help.

ImportError: Missing required dependencies ['numpy']

I was able to run all scripts successfully which is using pandas , but suddenly all my PANDAS SCRIPTS are giving this error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "data_visulaization.py", line 5, in
import pandas as pd
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/init.py", line 18,
in
raise ImportError("Missing required dependencies {0}".format(missing_dependencies))
ImportError: Missing required dependencies ['numpy']
Recently i have not installed or updated any new things.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
I uninstalled pandas and numpy and re-installed them but still facing the same issue.

I got this issue on Rasberry PI and found that the root cause was missing library:
import numpy
...
ImportError: libf77blas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then it takes few minute to google the required library source:
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
I have not checked the solution on any other Linux-es but likely the same method should be applicable. So try to import the faulty library first and see what is missing.

I faced the exact same error and found that I had created a file named 'random.pyc' by mistake in the same directory as that of my PyCharm environment
ayush#ayush-VirtualBox:~/PycharmProjects/untitled$ where "untitled" refers to my project directory. I deleted it and everything fells into place. Hope this helps !
The reason for this was numpy Imports another file called Random by default for building its own dependencies and it mistook my 'random.pyc' for it and replaced it.

I had the same error. Fixed with the following:
python3 -m pip uninstall numpy
python3 -m pip install numpy==1.14.0

use"conda install numpy" in cmd-window if you used Anaconda in your machine. I had encount this problem also and I resolved it by this. May it can help U.

I found the solution , the actual problem is if any of your recent python scripts have generated ".pyc" extension file this error will occur .
solution is to delete those files that's all.

If you are using packages options and it contains pandas or some package depends numpy, you should add required dependencies to the packages.

pip uninstall numpy
pip install numpy
It works

This error will occur when multiple versions of numpy are installed. Check to make sure you only have one version of numpy installed. You can make a test file to check this if you don't want to look through the directories:
import numpy
print("Numpy imported")
If you get an error saying that multiple versions of numpy were detected, then you have multiple versions of numpy installed.
You can fix this by repeatedly calling (not just once)
pip uninstall numpy
until all versions are uninstalled and then use
pip install numpy
to get only the latest version.

try uninstalling pandas and numpy:
pip uninstall pandas
pip uninstall numpy
and install them back:
pip install pandas
pip install numpy

ImportError: cannot import name NUMPY_MKL

I am trying to run the following simple code
import scipy
scipy.test()
But I am getting the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 586, in runfile

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\__init__.py", line 61, in <module>
from numpy._distributor_init import NUMPY_MKL # requires numpy+mkl
ImportError: cannot import name NUMPY_MKL
I am using python 2.7 under windows 10.
I have installed scipy but that does not seem to solve the problem
Any help is appreciated.

If you look at the line which is causing the error, you'll see this:
from numpy._distributor_init import NUMPY_MKL # requires numpy+mkl
This line comment states the dependency as numpy+mkl (numpy with Intel Math Kernel Library). This means that you've installed the numpy by pip, but the scipy was installed by precompiled archive, which expects numpy+mkl.
This problem can be easy solved by installation for numpy+mkl from whl file from here.

Reinstall numpy-1.11.0_XXX.whl (for your Python) from www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs. This file has the same name and version if compare with the variant downloaded by me earlier 29.03.2016, but its size and content differ from old variant. After re-installation error disappeared.
Second option - return back to scipy 0.17.0 from 0.17.1
P.S. I use Windows 64-bit version of Python 3.5.1, so can't guarantee that numpy for Python 2.7 is already corrected.

I'm not sure if this is a good solution but it removed the error.
I commented out the line:
from numpy._distributor_init import NUMPY_MKL
and it worked. Not sure if this will cause other features to break though

I had the same problem while installing gensim on windows. Gensim is dependent on scipy and scipy on numpy. Making all three work is real pain. It took me a lot of time to make all there work on same time.
Solution:
If you are using windows make sure you install numpy+mkl instead of just numpy.
If you have already installed scipy and numpy, uninstall then using "pip uninstall scipy" and "pip uninstall numpy"
Then download numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
and install using pip install numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win32.wh
Note: in cp34-cp34m 34 represent the version of python you are using, so download the relevant version.
Now download scipy from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy (appropriate version for your python and system)
and install using "pip install scipy‑0.19.1‑cp34‑cp34m‑win32.whl"
Your numpy and Scipy both should work now.
These binaries by Christoph Gohlke makes it very easy to install python packages on windows. But make sure you download all the dependent packages from there.

I don't have enough reputation to comment but I want to add, that the cp number of the .whl file stands for your python version.
cp35 -> Python 3.5.x
cp36 -> Python 3.6.x
cp37 -> Python 3.7.x
I think it's pretty obvious but still I wasted almost an hour because of this and maybe other people struggle with that, too.
So for me worked version cp36 that I downloaded here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
since I am using Python 3.6.8.
Then I uninstalled numpy:
pip uninstall numpy
Then I installed numpy+mkl:
pip install <destination of your .whl file>

The reason for the error is you upgraded your numpy library of which there are some functionalities from scipy that are required by the current version for it to run which may not be found in scipy. Just upgrade your scipy library using python -m pip install scipy --upgrade. I was facing the same error and this solution worked on my python 3.5.

From your log its clear that numpy package is missing. As mention in the PyPI package:
The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation.
So, try installing numpy package for python as you did with scipy.

I recently got the same error when trying to load scipy in jupyter (python3.x, win10), although just having upgraded to numpy-1.13.3+mkl through pip.
The solution was to simply upgrade the scipy package (from v0.19 to v1.0.0).

yes,Just reinstall numpy,it works.

ImportError: matplotlib requires dateutil; import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Am new to progamming and Python, i keep getting the error below when i run my program. Someone advised i should use pip to solve it. But cant pip get installed using the cmd. Though i suceeded using Powershell but still cant make it work. How do i solve this, any tips will go along way. Thanks

You need to install various packages to get numpy working correctly.
libsvm-3.17.win32-py2.7
pyparsing-2.0.1.win32-py2.7
python-dateutil-2.2.win32-py2.7
pytz-2013.9.win32-py2.7
six-1.5.2.win32-py2.7
scipy-0.13.3.win32-py2.7
numpy-MKL-1.8.0.win32-py2.7
Matplotlib
Download all the binaries from this link and install and then you will have a working numpy installation.

You're probably looking for:
pip install python-dateutil

The error states that you are missing Dateutil.
This could mean that you did not install Dateutil with pip install python-dateutil or your way to install Python modules. But if you did your pip install and still get the same error it could also mean that DateUtil is installed in a folder where your Python distribution does not expect it.
In my case (Mac OSX) I installed pip with Brew http://brew.sh/. That pip will install the modules in: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
However the standard Mac OSX Python distribution will look for modules in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
Your folders could be different of course, but you can check where Python looks for modules with:
import sys
print sys.path
Check this and see if one of the directories in the list contains the directory where dateutil is installed.
If not add a PYTHONPATH environment variable: Like: PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ or the folder where your dateutil is installed

I did pip install python-dateutil, but kept getting the same error. I got past that error by installing from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-dateutil
Look for the Matplotlib section and install the dependencies you don't have.
Matplotlib is a 2D plotting library.
Requires numpy, dateutil, pytz, pyparsing, six, setuptools, and optionally pillow, pycairo, tornado, wxpython, pyside, pyqt4, ghostscript, miktex, ffmpeg, mencoder, avconv, or imagemagick.
