Scipy ImportError: DLL load failed

When I try to get scipy running, the following occurs:
>>> import scipy
>>> from scipy import stats
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
from scipy import stats
File "C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages \Python37\site-packages\scipy\stats\__init__.py", line 384, in <module>

ImportError: DLL load failed: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.
I have googled the whole day now, but could not figure out a way to solve this problem. I found this question
"ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found" when trying to import gensim
and this sums up my whole problem, because I tried the exact same thing:
First, I used pip to install scipy and tried to uninstall and reinstall it.
Then, I also tried scipy version 1.4.1. with the success of being able to import scipy but not scipy.stats
Lastly, I also tried to uninstall numpy+mkl and then reinstall it again, which resulted in: 'Importing the numpy c-extensions failed'
I greatly appreciate any help!

Numpy and scipy rely on lower level fortran libraries such as BLAS and lapack to perform many of their functions. These libraries come in many different versions, including the highly portable ones available from netlib, and other which are optimised for particular systems. In particular, Intel has one called "MKL" - Intel Math Kernel Library. So numpy-mkl just means a version of numpy compiled against the MKL fortran library.
Probably whichever version of numpy you previously had installed was somehow broken, and couldn't find the libraries it needed.

ImportError: cannot import name get_ast_names error on lmfit

I have recently updated to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. After that I tried to run some of my python codes and I got an error related to the lmfit package, here's the code:
import scipy
from asteval import get_ast_names
import lmfit
(I have explicitly added the scipy and asteval modules to check python was finding them porperly)
I obtained this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/maurizio/Documents/Python/Programmini/PhD/TEAS/Test.py", line 3, in <module>

File "/home/maurizio/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lmfit/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>

from asteval import Interpreter, get_ast_names, valid_symbol_name
ImportError: cannot import name get_ast_names
which basically states that lmfit cannot find the function get_ast_names from asteval, although the python interpreter doesn't complain when I try to import it so it should be properly installed.
I have found this question with a similar problem and the guy in the comments claims he solved it by reinstalling it with pip3, so I tried to compile it with python3 and there's no problem so the issue concerns only python 2
Any help?

I believe you must have conflicting versions of lmfit and asteval. This should have been automatically noticed (and ideally resolved) when installing lmfit, but something there appears to have gone wrong. For the latest releases, you should get
>>> import asteval
>>> asteval.__version__
0.9.12
>>> import lmfit
>>> lmfit.__version__
0.9.11
Depending on how you installed these, you may need to check for and remove older versions of asteval in your $HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ folder and re-do pip install asteval.

Trying to install mathplot.lib for python 2.7.11. But Cannot find a suitable process. Have tried various ways from Youtube Tutorials, but invain

I have installed matplotlib-1.5.0.win-amd64-py2.7 from sourcefourge.net after downloading and installing numpy using commandprompt by using pip: pip install numpy. But when I write the following code it Gives me error. Help me out.
Code:
from matplotlib.pylab import *
pylab.plot([1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4])
pylab.show()
It gives me following error message:

There is an easy and complete guide on the Matplotlib Website.
Try and follow this one.

install numpy
pip install numpy
If you face installation issues for numpy, get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).
numpy 32-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
numpy 64-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
Later you require VC++ 9.0, then please get it from below link Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27
Then install matplotlib using
pip install matplotlib
If you face errors, please download below from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/, which will do the rest.
32-bit: matplotlib-1.5.3-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
64-bit: matplotlib-1.5.3-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
works like charm

rpy + matplotlib + arcpy

I am trying to use ryp with my arcpy scripts but I have the following error:
import rpy2.robjects as robjects Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import rpy2.robjects as robjects
File "C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\lib\site-packages\rpy2\robjects\__init__.py", line 12, in <module> import rpy2.rinterface as rinterface
File "C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\lib\site-packages\rpy2\rinterface\__init__.py", line 39, in <module> import win32api
ImportError: No module named win32api
This error comes even after the installation of the pywin32 for my version of python.
I've noticed that this seems to be a common error that is usually solved with the installation of pywin32.
I also have a problem with the matplotlib installation, every time i try to use it (import matplotlib.pyplot as plt), python crashes...
Versions:
Python 2.6.6
matplotlib installation: matplotlib-1.1.0.win32-py2.6.exe

You will need to run these scripts with PROPER Python. It seems to me that the ArcPy distribution does not include the win32api module (It also does not exist from example in Python on Mac or Linux).
I would install PythonXY which includes R bindings, and see if your scripts run there. If they run there, then I (guess) I am correct, and ArcPy does not include these modules.
A nice BONUS of PythonXY is it's an excellent Python IDE (Spyder), but the real bonus is what the commenter above me said:
different compiler versions can cause hell of a lot of Problems.
So, in PythonXY you get a whole bundle compiled with the same compiler.
Let us know if these made your RPy script run.

ImportError when installing NumPy for Python 2.7

EDIT: after reading this http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1322 it seems that the NumPy version I am using doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.x. Does anyone have access to a version of NumPy that works with Mac OS 10.5? I can't get it to compile either.
Original post ...
I am trying to use NumPy, but I'm having difficulty installing it. I'm using the installer that is available on sourceforge.
NumPy v1.5.0 (Py2.7)
Python 2.7
Mac OS 10.5.8 (PPC)
After running the installer (all I did was double-click the .pkg and follow the instructions), I try to import it ...
>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import numpy
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nump/__init__.py", line 153, in <module>

Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/random/mtrand.so
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
Does anyone have experience with this or have advice on how to fix it?
Thanks!

You can find discussion about current problems with Mac OS on the numpy mailing list, and I would recommend to discuss installation problems there, since that's were the developers are that try to fix the problems.
for example
http://groups.google.com/group/numpy/browse_thread/thread/a0ceb45b58feca2b#
and this is OS 10.5 specific
http://groups.google.com/group/numpy/browse_thread/thread/de75279785d56a25/2bfbb96e6d6c0a2e
You could join the effort, since they don't seem to have many OS 10.5 users available for testing.
