Question

here I'm encountering strange behavior with VSCode Jupyter notebook! i can't import from sklearn.model_selection import KFold cause it give me ImportError like this:

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

But when i try this in my CMD (Command Prompt), every thing is okey ! like this :

so how can i fix this problem? any kind of help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Which python interpreter you take in the CMD? You can try to switch to it in Jupyter.

It has some problems with the scipy package in your conda environment.

You can try this:

$> conda remove --force scipy
$> pip install scipy

You can refer to this page for more details.
