How To Fix Python - “ImportError: DLL load failed"


This post explains How To Fix Python Error - “ImportError: DLL load failed". We will see Generalized and more specific version of the error.  

Fix - “ImportError: DLL load failed:”


Error 
ImportError: DLL load failed:
Reasons & Fixes :

  • Sometimes it happens if there are multiple versions of Python installed. Uninstall the not reuqired version or use Python Virtual Environment (virtualenv) to separate Multiple Python versions.
 

  • Try reinstalling Python - You can try native Python or Anaconda Python.
 

  • Check if you have mixed up 64-Bit\32-Bit version updates.
 

  • Try below -

pip install pyqt5-tools
  • This issue also happens due to Anaconda installation issue .  Check if you have set up the Anaconda path to your System Environment PATH.
   

Fix - “ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.”


ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
Reasons and Fix -  DLL failures are very common when Python components are installed separately or various installation channels are mixed up.

  • Add the DLL Location to the Environment PATH variable. Sometimes some update might screw up the environment variable details.
 

  • Run the below command if using PyQt5 .

pip install pyqt5-tools
 

  • Instead of installing the native Python and the packages , try out the Anaconda Python. Anaconda includes most of the major packages used in Python projects and are configured correctly. If it is related to Tensorflow set-up, Ananconda takes care of all necessary packages including the GPU and CUDA.

conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu
It's for Tensorflow 2.1 and Python 3.7. DLL failures are common when components are installed separately or through another channel than Anaconda.

 

  • Sometimes it happens if there are multiple versions of Python installed. Uninstall the not required version or use Python Virtual Environment (virtualenv) to separate Multiple Python versions.
