lmfit package ImportError: cannot import name diff

问题:

As the title I'm duelling just with the import of the package lmfit which does not want to load. I just called the interpreter and then typed

import lmfit

but the import does not seem to go in the right direction, and I get this message of error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lmfit/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
    from .confidence import conf_interval, conf_interval2d
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lmfit/confidence.py", line 12, in <module>
    from .minimizer import MinimizerException
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lmfit/minimizer.py", line 26, in <module>
    from scipy.optimize import differential_evolution, least_squares
ImportError: cannot import name differential_evolution

I took a look here on SO, but all the answers related to ImportError: did not have satisfying answers, plus I'm quite a newbie in Python, so if there's some mistake I made I'm looking forward for your explanation.

It's trying to use scipy, which it appears you do not have. Try installing scipy. i.e. pip install scipy or conda install if using anaconda.
