from ._sparsetools import csr_tocsc, csr_tobsr, csr_count_blocks, \ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

I need your help please When I wrote:

>>> from skimage import io

I get at the end the following:

from ._sparsetools import csr_tocsc, csr_tobsr, csr_count_blocks, \
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

How can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated

How did you install scipy? Did you run its tests? I think this points to scipy and changed the tags. — sascha, Sep 12 '18 at 16:19
When I run the test, I get at the end: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytest' — Safiya, Sep 12 '18 at 16:31
Thank you for your replies, but how can i solve these errors? Please help me :( — Safiya, Sep 12 '18 at 16:32
Reading the link should give you an idea. Install pytest (in past: nose) — sascha, Sep 12 '18 at 16:36
After installing pytest and running the test again, i get 8 warnings, 185 errors in 62.46 seconds :( — Safiya, Sep 12 '18 at 16:45
I don't know which distribution of Python you are using, but this could be of interest: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32620691/error-importing-scipy-sparse-sparsetools — Eskapp, Sep 12 '18 at 17:46
Thank you for the link you provided, i passed that error since I have installed msvcp120.dll — Safiya, Sep 13 '18 at 02:14
But this time I have another error: from ..color import rgb2gray ImportError: cannot import name 'rgb2gray' from 'skimage.color' (C:\Users\user\A ppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\skimage\color\__init_ _.py) — Safiya, Sep 13 '18 at 02:15

[Solution] -

You need to install the C++ distribution for Visual Studio. Please click on this link - Download C++ re-distribution here and Download Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 according to your OS.

Once downloaded please install it and re-run your code.

Congratulations!! Your code is running green now.

I believe I have solved your issue, as I encountered the same problem in a completely different way.

You need to update your windows C++ redistributable compiler.

To understand if this is the solution.

Check what versions of microsoft C++ redistributable you have installed
- if you're using windows 10 type apps and features into the start bar and scroll down to where it says microsoft visual C++ and look at the year. In my case I was using a version from 2010
If you aren't running the latest version download microsoft visual studio 2017
Select the visual studio community 2017
- Once prompted to install specific packages, click on the menu item that says "individual components", it is located next to the menu item "Workloads"
- Scroll down and look for Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable Update
- Install that restart your machine
- You'll be able to verify that this worked by running the following code in your console

import scipy
scipy.test('full')

Note for the above code to execute you'll need to install the pytest module

pip install pytest

Clearly installation is broken so reinstall scipy and numpy .if it does not solve then add this issue on git repository of scipy module.

I had the same problem while using SciPy. I uninstalled the 32 bit version of Python and reinstalled 64 bit latest version. After doing so the error was no longer there.
