SciPy issue while using pip install

[OloOcki]

Dear Community of pyntcloud,

I really enjoyed working with pyntcloud! I have made some testing within conda, Python 3.6 and everything worked perfectly.

Now, I would like to integrate pyntcloud to a software called FME. FME installs all the stuff via pip and uses Python 3.7 but cannot import the pyntcloud package somehow (i.e. some xml Python parser works). When I try to run it the following error occurs:

``` 2020-06-30 15:43:16| 0.5| 0.0|INFORM|Using Python interpreter fromC:\Program Files\FME\fmepython37\python37.dll' with PYTHONHOME C:\Program Files\FME\fmepython37' 2020-06-30 15:43:16| 0.5| 0.0|INFORM|Python version 3.7 loaded successfully 2020-06-30 15:43:16| 0.5| 0.0|INFORM|Adding folderC:\Users\SAVe\AppData\Local\Temp\' to the python path 2020-06-30 15:43:16| 0.5| 0.0|INFORM|Emptying factory pipeline 2020-06-30 15:43:17| 1.3| 0.8|ERROR |Python Exception : [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found 2020-06-30 15:43:17| 1.3| 0.0|ERROR |Error executing string `importfmeimportfmeobjectsimportpyntclouddefprocessFeaturefeature:pass' 2020-06-30 15:43:17| 1.3| 0.0|FATAL |Factory proxy not initialized 2020-06-30 15:43:17| 1.3| 0.0|FATAL |PythonCaller (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature 2020-06-30 15:43:17| 1.3| 0.0|ERROR |A fatal error has occurred.

Trying to look under the hood and with help of @fhildin from FME Forum the SciPy library seems to cause the problem:

` ```

Do you know guys how to solve it? How to import pyntcloud properly? I guess that it is not a problem related to FME but rather to pyntcloud.

Hola @OloOcki Could you share with me some details about how to replicate the installation enviroment where you are finding the issue?

Hi, Actually the problem is solved - it was on the FME side. Please find the solution here .
