Answer 1

This happened to me in Windows with Anaconda. I fixed it by removing the python3 path from the environment variable PATH.

Answer 2

(Answer posted on behalf of the OP).

Update: Resolved.

I had created a python file for one of my projects name random.py and when numpy is imported, it was calling this file instead of it's own library file hence resulting in the error. I had to delete/rename random.py which I created and that fixed the issue.

Answer 3

It happened to me in a specific ipynb, once I crated a copy of the notebook with a different name I was able to import numpy.

Answer 4

Try running it in Python 2 instead of Python 3 - you may have the older version of Spark

Answer 5

Another common problem here (which I had)...check to make sure you dont have a PYTHONPATH env var pointing to a different version of python site-packages (this happened because I updated my python version and didn't change this...it loads from PYTHONPATH first).
