Question

Problem :

I want to learn the Machine Learning but I am unabe to resolve below error.

My Specs :

·         Mac High Sierra 10.13.2

·         Python3.4.5

·         Numpy1.13.3

 

Used below Command:

I am facing below Error:

RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xc but this version of numpy is 0xb

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

"the C extensions first.".format(module))

ImportError: C extension: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import not built. If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to run 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace --force' to build the C extensions first.

Answer 1

The reson behind your error is most likely due to the version of numpy too low; below code solved my problem:

pip3 install "numpy == 1.15.0" --user 

conda install couldnt solve it because currently it only have the numpy version 1.13.1, but is may be due to the my mirror site choosen is not the latest.
