title: sklearn cannot import name _ellipsoid
body: <p>On my computer sklearn has been working like half a year ago, I have stopped using it and now it isn't.
  I'm having trouble with an import statement in my program.py :</p>
  
  <pre><code>from sklearn import tree
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which looks really messy:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):   File "E:/DecisionModel.py", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;

  <p>Some useful info:
  While ago the error was that it cannot import NUMPY_MKL which I installed as a wheel from <a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
