Python package dependency is causing an error

Question

The folder Python37\site-packages\scipy\sparse\linalg\isolve\ inside Scipy package in Python has the following file: _iterative.cp37-win_amd64.pyd.

When I run a Python file, I get the following error :-
File "C:\......\Python37\site-packages\scipy\sparse\linalg\isolve\iterative.py", line 10, in <module> from . import _iterative ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

(I am new to Python on Windows)

Sounds like your installation is corrupted. See also here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30766274/error-importing-scikit-learn-modules — Richard, Nov 22 '19 at 17:27

As I cannot comment due to a lack of reputation:

Have you installed scypy with all the mentioned dependencies on their website?

python -m pip install --user numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose

This is how I was able to resolve the issue (on Windows) :-
1. I uninstalled Python using python.exe program.
2. Installed anaconda for Windows - it installs python along with dependencies and many common libraries.
