How to import NumPy in the Python shell

Question

I have tried importing NumPy in Python, but it did not succeed:

>>> import numpy as np 

x=np.array([[7,8,5],[3,5,7]],np.int32) 

Traceback (most recent call last): 

File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> 

import numpy as np 

File "C:\Python27\lib\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 interpreter from there.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You should read the error message which is saying; your working directory should not be the NumPy source directory when you invoke Python; NumPy should be installed and your working directory should be anything but the directory where it lives.

To know more about this you can have a look at the following video tutorial:-
