ImportError: No module named scipy

Your python don’t know where you installed scipy. add the scipy path to PYTHONPATH and I hope it will solve your problem.

I recommend you to remove scipy via

apt-get purge scipy

and then to install it by

pip install scipy

If you do both then you might confuse you deb package manager due to possibly differing versions.

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

If you need to get scipy in your Python environment on Windows you can get the *.whl files here:

https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

Remember that you need to install numpy+mkl before you can install scipy.

https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

When you have downloaded the correct *.whl files just open a command prompt in the download directory and run pip install *.whl.

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:UsersasusAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython35Scripts>
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:UsersasusAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython35Scripts>
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

Try to install it as a python package using pip as follows

$ sudo apt-get install python-scipy

If you want to run a python 3.x script, install scipy by:

$ pip3 install scipy
Otherwise install it by:
$ pip install scipy

My problem was that I spelt one of the libraries wrongly when installing with pip3, which ended up all the other downloaded libaries in the same command not being installed. Just run pip3 install on them again and they should be installed from their cache.

For Windows User :
pip install -U 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

if you are using pycharm go to settings and in project interpreter sub-tab click on “+” sign next to list and in the search bar in there search name “scipy” and install the package.

This may be too basic (and perhaps assumable), but –

Fedora users can use:

sudo dnf install python-scipy

and then (For python3.x):

pip3 install scipy

or (For python2.7):

pip2 install scipy

Use sudo pip install scipy to install the library so It cannot ask for permissions later

in previous steps by @user5747799, it do not work directly but instead change the URL (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py) and now spicy work very well on Ubuntu 20.04

Also o follow steps to switch between version from https://www.fosslinux.com/39384/switching-between-python-2-and-3-versions-on-ubuntu-20-04.htm

To install pip using alternative URL:

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
$ sudo python2 get-pip.py.2   # for python 2.7 (or verify the result of previous step)
$ 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

in order to verify

$ python

then

>>> import scipy

with no errors to show.

for Mac run below command to install scipy

$ brew install scipy
$ pip install scipy

Try forcing a reinstall of scipy:

python3 -m pip install scipy --force-reinstall

for python3 below command to install scipy

python3 -m pip install scipy
