DLL load failed with scipy.optimize?

Question

I\'m trying to upload the curve_fit from scipy.optimize to fit an exponential function to some data I have generated. My code looks like:

import matplotlib.p         


        

Answer 1

I encountered the error

    from ._ufuncs import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

when using cgoehlke's "Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages" for SciPy with a pip3-installed NumPy, overlooking this note:

Many binaries depend on NumPy-1.9+MKL and ...

Their NumPy provides the missing DLLs / modules.
