title: Python - Error importing Scipy
body: <p>I have seen some solution for handling this problem but I have not been successful to resolve it yet. Can one of you tell me what to do step by step?</p>
  
  <p>What I can do for exiting the SciPy source?</p>
  
  <p>BTW, I couldn't install SciPy by pip or easy_install. I have downloaded it and add the it's folder in the libraries.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ImportError: Error importing scipy: you cannot import scipy while
      being in scipy source directory; please exit the scipy source
      tree first, and relaunch your python intepreter.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>[edit]
  solution like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11069309/python-import-scipy-leads-to-traceback-referencing-a-deleted-file">here</a> .
   i am using python 2.7 . on windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>also i have seen the way to install MinGw before installing scipy by pip or easy_install. i have tried but nothing changed.</p>
  
  <p>[edit 2][sorry for bad explanation]</p>
  
  <p>this is what happen when I use easy_install</p>
