I am getting the ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. when importing the module seaborn.

My code is:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set()

Output:

I just got your issue with both seaborn and matplotlib. Did you try executing matplotlib ? Searching for an answer, I found out that it might be related to the matplotlib actual version (3.3.1). Here's the StackOverflow post that helped me.

from matplotlib import ft2font: "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found."

I just deleted/uninstalled matplotlib from my current packages (I work in a virtual env), and reinstalled a previous version (3.0.3)

I was having the same issue with importing seaborn in jupyter lab, lately.

I uninstalled the seaborn using pip:

pip uninstall seaborn

Then installed it again using pip:

pip install seaborn

This worked in my case.

Just on the sidenote, I also updated the whole conda enviroment using conda update --all. But this might not be influential in this case.
