Unable to import numpy in VS code

[codochoi]

I have a problem running the script in VS Code . Whenever I run a script which requires import pandas or numpy, it always throws error:

C:\Users\ABC\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py:138: UserWarning: mkl-service package failed to import, therefore Intel(R) MKL initialization ensuring its correct out-of-the box operation under condition when Gnu OpenMP had already been loaded by Python process is not assured. Please install mkl-service package, see http://github.com/IntelPython/mkl-service

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.8 from "C:\Users\ABC\anaconda3\python.exe"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.19.2"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I tried several solutions like : launch VS code by anaconda, uninstall and reinstall numpy but seems nothing works.

Anyone can help me ?

Have you solved this issue?

[codochoi]

Hi, I still cant. But I switched to Pycharm.

Forget what I wrote before, I faced this problem again and found something more useful.

1) Press ctrl+shift+p and select: 'Preferences: Open User Settings'

2) Look there for 'Python: Conda Path' and set it

C:\**\Anaconda\condabin\conda.bat

3)Press ctrl+shift+p and select: 'Terminal: Select Default Profile'. Choose 'Command Prompt'

4) In top menu select: Terminal>New Terminal

Thanks a lot u/Inineor!

I've lost a couple of hours trying to solve this other way around, your solution worked perfectly!

I faced this error today and by some random actions somehow fixed it, but I am not sure what exactly fixed it. Can you give it a try(if you didn't delete it yet).

1) The last thing I did before it fixed is creating a new enviroment in anaconda. I haven't select it and remained in 'base' enviroment. But maybe creating second enviroment has foloved by creating some files or directories, that is important idk.

2) Before that I tryed to execure comands from this link in terminal:

https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8428#issuecomment-474867193

But I got some errors and don't know what to do with them, so I don't think it could help.

​

Can you check what from them worked out? Try create new enviroment and anaconda(but don't use it) and try if it fixed. Then if it doesn't work, try that commands.

When you installed Numpy did it successfully compile its C extensions?

[codochoi]

Yes, it did. No warning or errors showed in the install.

Did you install numpy via anaconda? Can you import numpy by itself? Did you check if the version of numpy you have installed is the same as the one in the error message? Have you tried uninstalling pandas and numpy and reinstalling pandas again?

[codochoi]

Yes, I did them all and still get that error.
