scipy.ndimage fails to import

[kbevers]

When importing scipy.ndimage from either a python console or script an ImportError is raised:

In [1]: import scipy.ndimage

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

This happens for scipy version 0.14.0

[kbevers]

The problem was caused by using a more recent version of numpy (1.11.x) than the one distributed with OSGeo4W (1.8.x). scipy.ndimage imports correctly when the proper version of numpy is used.

[kbevers]

I am getting this error again after OSGeo4W adopted version 1.11.0. The problem has been confirmed on multiple computers in my office.

Maybe upgrade scipy to a more recent version, as there seem to be a conflict betweet the two packages in the current versions.

fixed with numpy-1.11.0-2 (x86_64) (1.11.0-1 was missing fortran dlls)

[kbevers]

That did the trick, thank you. Very impressive response time!
