import matplotlib._png as _png Import: Error: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

I use the Anaconda Python distribution: Python 2.7 x64 with Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate.

When I do import matplotlib.pyplot I get ImportError: DLL load

Answer 1

I suppose the related issue is here: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1753

I solved the same problem by re-installing Anaconda.
