Running numpy using anaconda and VS Code

I am trying to get VScode to work with anaconda but having issues with numpy. I have managed to get VScode to use the right python environment From VScode (ctrl+shift+P, type Python:Select Interpreter and select the appropriate option).
However, when I type "import numpy" in to my script, I get the following error message:

- if you built from source, your compiler versions and ideally a build log
- If you're working with a numpy git repository, try `git clean -xdf`
(removes all files not under version control) and rebuild numpy.

Original error was: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath: The specified module could not be found.
I have successfully called the 'import numpy' command from the anaconda command prompt so it seems the issue is just with VS-Code?
I have also tried to reinstall numpy from the environment with the following command conda install numpy --force-reinstall but this has no effect?

Try launching VS Code from your activated conda environment. Errors like this typically come up if you managed to run code before your shell had a chance to do a conda environment activation.

There is one step more
Launch Anaconda 3 powershell
conda init cmd.exe #to allow cmd to run VScode
Lauch VScode by the hitting the command code.

Embed numpy in a zipapp archive

I want to zip some sources in order to use it easily from multiple locations. I have to install some external modules, let us say pyyaml and numpy.
First, I install these packages in a specific location:
python -m pip install --target=lib pyyaml numpy
And then I create the zipped library:
python -m zipapp library --output=my_library.pyd --compress
In another interpreter, after adding "my_library.pyd" to the sys.path, I can load the yaml module, but not the numpy one:
>>> import sys
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> sys.path.append(str(Path().absolute() / 'my_library.pyd'))
>>> import yaml
>>> import numpy

Original error was: No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'
In the zip archive, I do have a file named numpy\core\_multiarray_umath.cp37-win_amd64.pyd, but it obviously is a C compiled file.
Is there anything I can do to be able and import numpy when creating the zip archive?

I believe this is a problem with zipapp on import some .c compiled files. To solve this I used the install creator. It was what I want, create a .exe from python code.

Numpy import failed

On an RPi2, I upgraded all my packages with pip-review and numpy does not work anymore.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall numpy though pip and apt but I'm getting no luck.
Apt installs numpy 1.12.1, if I try to install that it does not install through pip.
Pip installs numpy 1.16.4 fine, but when I go to run it I get the error below.
I have already run: sudo apt install libc6 libatlas-base-dev
Any help is appreciated.

pip install numpy --global-option="-mfloat-abi=hard" --force-reinstall was the only answer that worked for me . The explanation is given in a thread on a slightly different problem see this link

With Conda it is solved depending on the version, but must force reinstall.
# versions >= 4.6:
conda install numpy --force-reinstall
# versions < 4.6:
conda install numpy --force

How can I import numpy correctly?

I am using qiskit (I am an absolute beginner with some experience with Java and know basic python) but when I tried to run an example code which uses numpy it gave me this error. I tried reinstalling it but it gave me the same error.
I have tried installing and reinstalling it but it didnt work
import numpy as np
from cqc.pythonLib import CQCConnection, qubit
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, ClassicalRegister, QuantumRegister, execute
from qiskit.tools.visualization import circuit_drawer
from qiskit.quantum_info import state_fidelity

Try to upgrade the numpy:

or uninstall it and reinstall it again:
pip uninstall numpy
pip install numpy

Numpy and OpenCV

I'm tired to import cv and numpy and get errors. I started importing cv and I got this error:
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/cv.py", line 1, in <module>
from cv2.cv import *
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import
So I installed numpy on Ubuntu using:
apt-get install python-numpy
So when I import numpy I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in <module>
File "numpy/init.py", line 127, in <module>
raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError: Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from
its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and relaunch
your python intepreter from there.
I really need help. I'm using Python 2.7.3 on Ubuntu.

There is nothing wrong with installing common dependencies using your operating system's package manager, remember using pip means your synaptic updates won't update your Python libraries and pip won't leverage the dependencies already taken care of by aptitude. For python packages with C extensions like numpy and opencv its probably better to use apt-get.
In Ubuntu you can install both dependencies with
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-opencv
The actual Python error you are getting indicates what is wrong, namely that you are executing from within the numpy source directory, or have a file named numpy.py in your current directory which is confusing things at import time. Try change into an empty directory, start Python import your libraries:
import numpy
import cv
Hope that helps.

It's better that use some package management tool such like pip to install numpy.
For example,
pip install numpy
