Importing SciPy or scikit-image, “from scipy.linal

Question

I'm importing:

from scipy import misc, io 

But I get these errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Exception in thread Thread-1 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):

I'm running 64-bit Windows 7, and Python 2.7, In Anaconda's Spyder. I've tried the following:

pip install scipy-stack # this couldn't find any downloads that satisfy scipy-stack
pip install _fblas # this wasn't found
pip install ipython # this was successful
pip install scikit-learn # this was successful
pip install scipy # this was successful

I tried downloading SciPy and SciPy-Stack and scitkit-image from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ but I don't know what's wrong - it seems all the links are broken. My download always fails midway. Is there any way out of this? (Without having to re-install Anaconda Spyder from scratch)?

Answer 1

I solved this problem on Windows 8.1 by installing Scipy‑stack‑14.8.27.win32‑py2.7.exe.

Apparently, scipy‑0.14.0.win32‑py2.7.exe was missing something.

Answer 2

In my case, this solution is working.

window 10 64 bit, Python 3.6.3

1. delete Numpy and Scipy
2. download window binaries of Numpy and Scipy from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
3. install Numpy and Scipy
4. pip3 install scipy-stack

Then, it is working.
