Python 3.7 Anaconda Environment - Import _Ssl Dll Load Fail Error

Python 3.7 anaconda environment - import _ssl DLL load fail error

This can be fixed by manually adding in the PATH variables in PyCharm to the console.

1. Open your Anaconda cmd
2. Activate your Conda environment
3. Get the full PATH value by typing echo %PATH%
   
   • if you are on Windows 7/can't copy the output, cd the cmd to your desktop and type echo %PATH% > path_val.txt
   • this will create a txt file so you can copy/paste the values easier.
4. In PyCharm, go to Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Console -> Python Console -> click the folder on the right of Environment variables.
5. Click the plus button to add a new Environment Variable
   
   
   • The name should be PATH
   • The value is the entire output from the echo %PATH% command above.
6. Click OK, then apply.

import _ssl error,DLL load failed ,Python 37 Anaconda Windows 10

Based on Pycharm forum post it's a known issue that will be fixed in the next release of Pycharm 2019.1. The only way to resolve this is to create an environment using python 3.6. If you use that environment as your interpreter PyCharm should work properly.

Cheers!!

Cant start jupyter notebook in Anaconda3, because of error in import _ssl

The reason for the error in this case is that some incompatible DLLs are loaded before the Anaconda's DLLs. One of the solutions is to use a special Anaconda DLL loading mode by setting the corresponding control environment variable in the Anaconda prompt:

set CONDA_DLL_SEARCH_MODIFICATION_ENABLE=1

P.S.: Not to set the variable on every startup manually, you can set it as a system environment variable.

Python 3.7 anaconda environment - import _ssl DLL load fail error

This post answers the question. Looks the the idiots of anaconda look for SSL and other dlls in C:\anacnoda3\dlls. They do not use the windows path resolution. I guess they do not trust Windows to do the right thing.

Copying the ssl and crypto dlls to Anaconda3\Dlls location solved the problem.
