Error while importing scipy.spatial.distance in python

While I am running this code in ubuntu 14.04, I want to calculate the cosine distance of an array with scipy.spatial.distance. But it is throwing me an error in importing scipy.spatial.distance.
import numpy as np
import scipy
from scipy.spatial.distance import pdist
x=np.array([[[-0.22008298, 0.28819615, 0.09895946, 0.16789497, 0.02379252,

B =x.transpose(1,2,0).reshape(-1,x.shape[0])
print(B.shape)
print (B.ndim)
#array.astype(int)
print(B)
y=1-(pdist(B, metric='cosine'))
print(y)
It is throwing this error,

I am using virtual environment with pip.
Can someone help me. Thanks in advance.

pip install -U scipy
This will solve your issue. I have tried and it did for me. You might get an error that scikit-learn is not installed properly. If you get that error, you can first run:
pip install -U scikit-learn
and then rerun the above code.

Cannot add scipy to pycharm

This line:
from scipy.stats import norm
(The first in file, and even if it is the only line)
results in these errors:

Try removing your current numpy version and installing the numpy-MKL library which is available here.
Download the right version for your python version and pip install it.

Seaborn import error

I have been trying to import Seaborn in Python 3.6 but I always get an error:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I tried to install 2 DLLs (msvcp71 and msvcr71) but that did not help. I am using Windows 10.
The full error is:
import seaborn

The problem was in Scipy so I uninstalled (pip uninstall) it and then reinstalled Scipy. Also reinstalled seaborn. That worked.
Trying to install from .whl didn't work but pip worked.

pip install of statsmodels is not working. DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

I am really new to python and I am trying to install the statsmodels module. It seems that since I am on a 64 bits I need to use the following unofficial website http://www.lfd.uci.edu/ I did all I know about how to download a whl and I did download it and used the pip afterwards and all work fine. now when I do pip install statsmodels it work fine. However, in my shell after I try import the stats models I am getting
import statsmodels

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Yesterday, I have installed software which brings some python with itself and look like does something else during installation.
In Dependency walker I see following picture:
I have installed Anaconda2-2.4.0-Windows-x86_64 and in this python version all works fine.
Could you please help me to understand what has been changed in system and how I can fix it?(I have completely remove installed software but it does not help)
