When trying to import matplotlib.pyplot (in Spyder), I get the following error(s):

My version of Python is the following:

I'm guessing this is a false positive by my antivirus (Avast), though I still get the second error after turning it off. Reinstalling the module or Anaconda did not work either.
Is it possible that my antivirus keeps deleting the DLL, and if so, is there a way to stop it from doing so? Or is my problem something else entirely?
Many thanks!
I had this exact same problem with Avast and matplotlib. My solution was to uninstall Anaconda, then reinstall the same version and add C:\Anaconda3 to the excepted scan directory in Avast.

When using python through the commandline, I am able to import modules fine. However, when I build a python script in SublimeText3, some modules don't import. I generally receive the following error:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
The problem looks to involve modules with dependencies on modules with a "_" prefix (_sqlite3, _ssl). For example:
File "C:\ProgramData\anaconda3\Lib\sqlite3\__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
from sqlite3.dbapi2 import *
File "C:\ProgramData\anaconda3\Lib\sqlite3\dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Both commandline and ST3 or pointing to same instance of Python.
This is the only python install on the machine.
Have used default Python build in ST3 and created a new build, both have same issue.

Any help much appreciated, been stuck on this for days.
For those with a similar issue in the future, I've fixed this by uninstalling the Anaconda distribution of Python and replacing it with a base Python installation from Python.org, then installing packages using pip manually. While not the ideal solution, this has solved the issue so that when I build a Python script in ST3, all modules are imported fine.
I have installed TensorFlow and wanted to check the installation. Here is the interaction with the python console.

Could anyone please tell what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
As Yaroslav noted, this is most likely from running too old a version of Python, or you don't have the funcsigs package installed. For the latter, try pip install funcsigs
I managed to break one of my virtual environments. I think I did it by installing pycrypto with pip and uninstalling it with easy_install.
This is what I get when I run python in the venv.

How can I fix this?
You should not name your file types.py as there is a standard library module with the same name (import types).
As such, Python tries to import it as part of some standard library code but it now actually imports your local types.py file, not the module it expects.
So the problem should be fixed when you rename types.py to something else.
I am trying to make exe using py2exe in Python. When I import py2exe I am getting error like this:

Can any body help me fixing this out. I am not getting machinery module any where.
I just ran into this myself. I had installed 0.9 from pypi as well. If you look at the pypi page here py2exe on pypi, you'll see that the download only supports Python 3.3 and later and you should use the 0.6 download from here. I deleted the 0.9 egg after installing 0.6 and it worked after that.
I had same issue, because i had version py2exe0.9 and it is not supported for python2.7.
I downloaded lower version from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/py2exe/0.6.9/py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.7.exe/download
and it works.
When I run a code which imports spynner, I get the following error:

A funny thing is that I can import those things in normal python shell without any problem:

Okay I figured it out. The problem is that spynner first tries to import PySide, and it gets an error in importing QSslConfiguration from PyQt4.QtNetwork. And then it switches to PyQt4, and apparently the previously imported PySide makes the PyQt4 import fail. When I remove the try: part in browser.py I could import spynner fine.
