What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. If I open Idle, I try:
  >>>import numpy

and get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import numpy
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 153, in <module>
    from . import add_newdocs
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in <module>
    from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 18, in <module>
    from .polynomial import *
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\polynomial.py", line 19, in <module>
    from numpy.linalg import eigvals, lstsq, inv
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\linalg\__init__.py", line 50, in <module>
    from .linalg import *
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\linalg\linalg.py", line 29, in <module>
    from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite, _umath_linalg
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

2. If I attempt to import numpy again:
   >>>import numpy
I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    import numpy
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 153, in <module>
    from . import add_newdocs
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in <module>
    from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 17, in <module>
    from . import scimath as emath
ImportError: cannot import name scimath
>>> 

How can I successfully import numpy into Idle?

Thank you!
