Hi everyone.

I have had problems when importing Scipy in Slicer 4.10.2 on Windows 10.

After write ‘import scipy’ I get a Runtime Error R6036.

I have installed Scipy from Python interactor in Slicer with the following command:

from pip.\_internal import main as pipmain  
pipmain([‘install’,‘scipy’]).

I would be really appreciated it if somebody could let me know how I can fix it.  
Thank you very much.

You need to use recent Slicer-4.11 versions to be able to install packages from PyPI.

@xlucox Scipy is now included by default in the most recent versions of Slicer 4.11 preview , so you won’t even need to install scipy manually.

Yes. Thank you very much.

I changed the older version for the newest and it works.
