ImportError: No module named scipy

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):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyBrain-0.3.1-
py2.7.egg/pybrain/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    from scipy import reshape, dot, outer
ImportError: No module named scipy

I have installed scipy using this command -

sudo apt-get install python-scipy

I get -

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
python-scipy is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

What should I do?

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.

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

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.

Python35>python 
Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:18:55) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 
>>>import scipy

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

ImportError: No module named scipy
