'ImportError: DLL load failed' when fetching Iris dataset via sklearn

Question

I just updated my installed anaconda by conda update --all. Then I try to fetch the Iris dataset as follows:

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
data = load_iris()

Then I get the error message: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Here is my conda info

I have tried several solutions out there but all of them did not work well. I am using python 3.5.4, sklearn 0.19.1.

Ps. I also found the similar problem on stackoverflow 2 years ago. The python version in that problem is 2.7. There are no working solutions.

I try using `jupyter notebook` and it works. But not in Eclipse as I stated in my question. — Duong Trung Nghia, Oct 26 '17 at 14:51
Try installing numpy+mkl - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy The problem could come from there as proposed here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22753695/dll-load-failed-with-scipy-optimize — Eskapp, Oct 26 '17 at 15:42
