Yes, the python I have installed is 64bit. Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:44:40) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
and the scipy wheel I am trying to install from is : scipy-0.17.0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl At Sayth: Thanks for recommending Anaconda. I already am familiar with it, but I was wondering why the scipy installed on my normal python gives the following error : mportError: DLL load failed Thanks for your comments, -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
