Import Error: no module named numpy (numpy already installed)

I have a question which is very similar to Import Error: No module named numpy but the answer to that question I do not believe would be appropriate for me, so I'm asking again.

importerror cmd

This is my most recent effort after about six hours of trying to get modules to work in python (numpy is a dependency of something else), so I'm finally turning to SO. Part of efforts in the last six hours included installing the enthought distribution, as its large volume of libraries was highly advised for windows users. I've even thrown the location of numpy folder onto the path of environment variables just to exclude it as a possibility.

Windows, 64bit, Python 2.7

For python versions > 3.4 ,do this pip install numpy beacuse pip is python dependency which installs packages just like npm in js i.e. node.js

Since you are on windows, I highly recommend that you install ANACONDA. This way the environment variables are set automatically and you don't need to worry about anything else. There are many useful packages (e.g. numpy, sympy, scipy) which are bundled with anaconda.

Moreover, based on personal experience I can tell you that using pip on windows and compiling from source (you need visual studio) is a pain in the neck sometimes. That's why ANACONDA has been conceived.

Hope this helps.
