title: python DLL load failed (statsmodels)
body: <p>My Python version is 2.7.9 and OS is Windows 8.</p>
  
  <p>Writing <code>import statsmodels.api</code></p>

  <p>How can I solve this problem? I find <code>fblas.py  fblas.pyc _fblas.pyd</code> but no <code>_fblas.py</code>in <code>C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\linalg</code>   Is this where the problem is? </p>
