Windows 10 can't import torch

1

installed latest python 3.5.4, didn’t work as below, so uninstalled and tried 3.5.1 with same result. Same thing happened on my laptop, both with windows 10.

python-3.5.4-amd64
python-3.5.1-amd64
numpy-1.11.0-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
matplotlib-1.5.1-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
pip3 install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch-0.4.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

python

import numpy
import matplotlib
import torch
Traceback (most recent call last):

from torch._C import *

found a solution posted elsewhere.


@AlbertHuyb You are using pure Python, right? Then you’ll need to install the VC Redist 2017 by yourself. You’ll also need the intel-openmp dlls and Numpy.
Here are the links to them:
VC 2017 - https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/VC_redist.x64.exe
Intel openmp - https://anaconda.org/anaconda/intel-openmp/files

Download win-64/intel-openmp-2018.0.0-8.tar.bz2 and put the dll files in Library\bin into a dir and append the path of it to the environment variable PATH.

Just unack openmp to some directory, go to control panel - system - advanced - environment variables - select path - new - add a path to the bin folder of openmp

I had to install python 3.5.4 after a reboot, before it finally worked. So I had python 3.5.1, added the above, then rebooted, then upgraded to 3.5.4. This worked on both computers. Watch out for a pending windows update. Your Visual C++ redistribution install will just hang. Arg!
