ImportError: No module named scipy
PythonPython 2.7ScipyPybrainPython Problem Overview
I am using Python 2.7 and trying to get PyBrain to work.
But I get this error even though scipy is installed -
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named scipy
I have installed scipy using this command -
sudo apt-get install python-scipy
I get -

python-scipy is already the newest version.

What should I do?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Try to install it as a python package using pip. You said you already tried:
sudo apt-get install python-scipy
Now run:
pip install scipy
I ran both and it worked on my Debian-based box.
Solution 2 - Python
To ensure easy and correct installation for python use pip from the get go
To install pip:
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python2 get-pip.py # for python 2.7
$ sudo python3 get-pip.py # for python 3.x
To install scipy using pip:
$ pip2 install scipy # for python 2.7
$ pip3 install scipy # for python 3.x
Solution 3 - Python
For windows users:
I found this solution after days. Firstly which python version you want to install?
If you want for Python 2.7 version:
STEP 1:
> scipy‑0.19.0‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl > > scipy‑0.19.0‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl
If you want for Python 3.4 version:
> scipy‑0.19.0‑cp34‑cp34m‑win32.whl > > scipy‑0.19.0‑cp34‑cp34m‑win_amd64.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp34‑cp34m‑win32.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp34‑cp34m‑win_amd64.whl
If you want for Python 3.5 version:
> scipy‑0.19.0‑cp35‑cp35m‑win32.whl > > scipy‑0.19.0‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp35‑cp35m‑win32.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
If you want for Python 3.6 version:
> scipy‑0.19.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl > > scipy‑0.19.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl > > numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl

Once finish installation, go to your directory.
For example my directory:
cd C:\Users\asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts>
pip install [where/is/your/downloaded/scipy_whl.]
STEP 2:
> Numpy+MKL
From same web site based on python version again:
After that use same thing again in Script folder
cd C:\Users\asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts>
pip3 install [where/is/your/downloaded/numpy_whl.]
And test it in python folder.

>>>import scipy
Solution 4 - Python
I had a same problem because I installed both of python2.7 and python3. when I run program with python3 I received same error. I install scipy with this command and problem has been solved:
sudo apt-get install python3-scipy
Solution 5 - Python
If you need to get scipy
in your Pyhton environment on Windows you can get the *.whl files here:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy
Remember that you need to install numpy+mkl
before you can install scipy
.
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
When you have downloaded the correct *.whl files just open a cmd prompt in the download directory and run pip install *.whl
.
Solution 6 - Python
For Windows User : pip install -U scipy
Solution 7 - Python
if you are using pycharm go to settings and in project interpreter sub-tab click on "+" sign next to list and in the search bar in there search name "scipy" and install the package.
Solution 8 - Python
I recommend you to remove scipy via
apt-get purge scipy
and then to install it by
pip install scipy
If you do both then you might confuse you deb package manager due to possibly differing versions.
Solution 9 - Python
Try to install it as a python package using pip as follows
$ sudo apt-get install python-scipy
If you want to run a python 3.x script, install scipy by:
$ pip3 install scipy
Otherwise install it by:
$ pip install scipy
Solution 10 - Python
This may be too basic (and perhaps assumable), but -
Fedora users can use:
sudo dnf install python-scipy
and then (For python3.x):
pip3 install scipy
or (For python2.7):
pip2 install scipy
Solution 11 - Python
Your python don't know where you installed scipy. add the scipy path to PYTHONPATH
and I hope it will solve your problem.
Solution 12 - Python
My problem was that I spelt one of the libraries wrongly when installing with pip3, which ended up all the other downloaded libaries in the same command not being installed. Just run pip3 install on them again and they should be installed from their cache.
Solution 13 - Python
Use sudo pip install scipy
to install the library so It cannot ask for permissions later
Solution 14 - Python
in previous steps by @user5747799, it do not work directly but instead change the URL (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py) and now spicy work very well on Ubuntu 20.04
Also o follow steps to switch between version from https://www.fosslinux.com/39384/switching-between-python-2-and-3-versions-on-ubuntu-20-04.htm
To install pip using alternative URL:
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
$ sudo python2 get-pip.py.2 # for python 2.7 (or verify the result of previous step)
$ sudo python3 get-pip.py # for python 3.x
To install scipy using pip:
$ pip2 install scipy # for python 2.7
$ pip3 install scipy # for python 3.x
in order to verify
$ python
then
>>> import scipy
with no errors to show.
Solution 15 - Python
for Mac run below command to install scipy
$ brew install scipy
$ pip install scipy
