Solution

  • install numpy

    pip install numpy

    If you face installation issues for numpy, get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).

    numpy 32-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

    numpy 64-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

    Later you require VC++ 9.0, then please get it from below link Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

    Then install

    Get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).

    Scipy 32-bit: scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

    Scipy 64-bit: scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

    If it fails saying whl is not supported wheel on this platform , then upgrade pip using python -m pip install --upgrade pip and try installing scipy

    Now try

    pip install scipy

    Then try

    pip install statsmodels

    It should work like a charm
