title: ImportError: DLL load failed when importing Numpy installed in conda virtual environment
body: <p>In Windows, I created a Conda virtual environment with the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>conda create -n test python=2.7 pandas scipy matplotlib numpy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Once it is created, I activated the virtual environment and went into a python interpreter. When trying to import numpy, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import numpy
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\test\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 180, in &lt;module&gt;
      from . import add_newdocs
    File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\test\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in &lt;module&gt;
      from numpy.lib import add_newdoc

      from . import multiarray
  ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks!</p>
