What should I do?

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

Whenever you import a module, python will search for that module in some specific directories. To know which all directories it will search, use the below given code in python promp

$ import sys
$ print(sys.path)

And also make sure that the NumPy module resides in any of those directory.

If your NumPy module does not present in any of those directory, then add your NumPy module to the python search path by the following given code in python prompt.

​$ import sys
$ sys.path.append("NumPy_path")
$ import NumPy

Hope this will solve your error.

Support for Python 3 was added in NumPy version 1.5.0, so to begin with, you must download/install a newer version of NumPy.
