ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found for numpy
Question: I have Python 3.3.2, 64 bit. When I run a script with `import numpy` I get the
following Error: `ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not
be found.`. The traceback is:

    
    
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Users\ZKZJFIO\workspace\FX_FORWARD_FLAG_DETERMINATION\Main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import numpy 
    File "C:\Python33\numpy\__init__.py", line 180, in <module>
        from . import add_newdocs
      File "C:\Python33\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in <module>
        from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
      File "C:\Python33\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
        from .type_check import *
      File "C:\Python33\numpy\lib\type_check.py", line 11, in <module>
        import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
      File "C:\Python33\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
        from . import multiarray
    

I looked at [this link](http://scipy-user.10969.n7.nabble.com/ImportError-DLL-
load-failed-The-specified-module-could-not-be-found-After-update-td16317.html)
which appeared to be dealing with a similar issue and found that I do actually
have multiarray.pyd so I am a bit confused as to how to resolve this issue as
most questions about this error appear to be specific to that module.

**After running dependency walker on multiarray.pyd it appears MSVCR90.DLL and
PYTHON27.DLL are missing. Would it be worth just downloading Python27 to
rectify this issue as I was told downloading dll's directly may not be the
best thing?**

Thank You


Answer: Since the creator of Numpy made a company that puts out a python distribution
etc... (with Numpy as one of 195 libraries which work on windows) I would
suggest you pick that one to use <http://continuum.io/downloads> . you can
pick version 2.7 or 3.x
