“ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found” when trying to import gensim

问题

While trying to import gensim, I run into the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

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

I have tried uninstalling numpy, scipy and gensim using pip in the command prompt and installing them again, but this does not resolve the issue.

I have also looked at the suggestions to a similar problem here, and tried installing numpy‑1.19.0+mkl‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl, but it resulted in a separate error Importing the numpy c-extensions failed. Thus, I have stuck to using numpy, scipy and gensim installed via pip.

Additionally, I installed scipy version 1.4.1 as the latest 1.5.0 version will give the following error as described in this link: Error when loading scipy: OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

Any help is greatly appreciated!

For additional information, I am using Python 3.7 and Windows 10.
