I am new to scikit-learn. I went through the examples given in the docs and I downloaded the script for recognizing images of hand-written digits. When I made the script to run on my laptop, I got the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Python34\plot_digits_classification.py", line 22, in <module>

  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\scipy\sparse\linalg\isolve\iterative.py", line 7, in <module>
  from . import _iterative
  ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Please help me. Also, I want to know if I want to load data for prediction, how should I do that? For example, if I want to test a hand written digit that is stored somewhere on my disk, how to prepare that data for loading and passing into this model for prediction?

Seems like you've got to install the module, for example with the pip package manager. Perhaps you could install anaconda, which is highly recommended

I installed older version of numpy,that's the problem. If you have installed scikit-learn using windows binaries, then you must first install numpy+mkl from the windows binaries site. It is a prerequisite for scikit-learn.

    $\begingroup$ Maybe try the Anaconda Python distribution (continuum.io/downloads). It's got a great package manager that takes care of all dependency problems. $\endgroup$
