I am using the Anaconda distribution with Python 3.7. Among the packages installed, I have numpy, pandas, etc. In PyCharm IDE, I have set the Project Interpreter to be the path to the python.exe installed with Anaconda: C:\Users\my_user_name\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe
However, when I try running a simple python script:
import numpy as np
print(np.pi)
I get an error:
ImportError:
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you're working with a numpy git repo, try git clean -xdf (removes all
files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy.
Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
See the full error message below:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling numpy using Anaconda Prompt with: conda uninstall numpy, and then: conda install numpy [I now have numpy 1.15.4]. The re-install seem 'successful' (at least according to Anaconda Prompt), but, I keep getting an error in PyCharm.
The strange part, is when I directly go into Anaconda Prompt, and type:
python
import numpy as np
print(np.pi)
I do not get any error, and I am able to see the correct result printed out. At first, I thought that perhaps, when using PyCharm, I am somehow pointing to a different executable, but I checked in both Anaconda Prompt and Python Console of Pycharm, using:
sys.executable
and they both show the same path:
'C:\\Users\\my_user_name\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\python.exe'
Note that in PyCharm, when I try running a script where I am not importing any library, or when the library imported are just like sys or os, the scripts run fine. However, when I try running any other script that involves importing a library that somehow depends on numpy, it fails as well (i.e. scripts where I import pandas, etc.) Those same scripts work fine in Anaconda Prompt.
I am at a loss here, any help would be very appreciated!
