Seaborn ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

I am getting the \"ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.\" when importing the module seaborn.

I tried uninstalling

Answer 1

What solved this for me was installing seaborn via conda:

conda install seaborn

And then restarting the kernel

Answer 2

I was having this issue until I uninstalled and reinstalled scipy with the pip command. Just got to your command line and type pip uninstall scipy and pip install scipy.

Hopefully that works for you as well. I also uninstalled/installed seaborn before this although I'm not sure if that was necessary.

Using conda rather than pip may also work.

Answer 3

I had the same problem.

I uninstalled seaborn with pip uninstall seaborn and then I installed it with pip install seaborn

Then it didn't work so I restarted the KERNEL and it works.

Answer 4

The problem is because you are using windows. Scipy has problems with windows, if you check the sklearn site they say if you were unsuccessful for installing their packages by pip or conda you can install them with unofficial windows binary packages

so what you need to do is this, find your required package in This Link and download it

uninstall your previous installed packages :

pip uninstall seaborn

install all you need from this link, i suggest you to install numpy , pandas, matplotlib, seaborn , ... from this link

after you downloaded the required package, open your cmd, go to the folder that contains the .whl file

you can install them by the following command :

pip install "seaborn‑0.8.1‑py2.py3‑none‑any.whl"
