I've installed scipy and scikit-learn from Christoph Gohlke Unofficial Windows installers , and the following commands run successfully without error :

>>> import sklearn
>>> import scipy

Then I was going to try sklearn.datasets.load_digits() function as demonstrated in the linked documentation :

from sklearn.datasets import load_digits

but that line triggered an error complaining about, as I understand it, _log_logistic_sigmoid was not found :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn\datasets\__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from .twenty_newsgroups import fetch_20newsgroups

    from ._logistic_sigmoid import _log_logistic_sigmoid
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Anybody ever experienced this error? How to fix that?

I'm using python 2.7 on windows 8 machine if that help.

Solved by uninstalling the unofficial package, then reinstall from the official package using the following command :

pip install -U numpy scipy scikit-learn
