Question

This is the error I am getting and, as far as I can tell, there is nothing useful on the error link to fix this.

RuntimeError: The current Numpy installation ('...\\venv\\lib\\site- packages\\numpy\\__init__.py') fails to pass a sanity check due to a bug in the windows runtime.

See this issue for more information: <https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1207405/fmod- after-an-update-to-windows-2004-is-causing-a.html>

I have tried multiple versions of Python (3.8.6 and 3.9.0) and numpy and pandas. I am currently using PyCharm to do all this.


Answer

This error occurs when using python3.9 and numpy1.19.4 So uninstalling numpy1.19.4 and installing 1.19.3 will work.


Edit

As of January 5th 2021 numpy version 1.19.5 is out and appears to solve the problem.
