Hi,

I'm new to Python and trying to run a already written code. Can someone please explain the error below? And if possible, how do I resolve this?

Traceback (most recent call last):

This particular module incorporates FORTRAN subroutines. My guess is that
whoever compiled your scipy binary did it in such a way that the FORTRAN
standard library was being linked in as a DLL instead of statically. This DLL is
not present on your system. Windows is trying to find it, but failing.

How did you install scipy? If you used a prebuilt binary installer, can you
please link to the exact one that you used?

Try using depends.exe to find out what DLL it is looking for.

The file that you want to check in depends.exe:

c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\special\_ufuncs.pyd

You're missing the dll that provides some function that you're trying to
use.
