I can import numpy with no issues. However, when trying to import easyocr I'm getting the following error:

>>> %Run numpytst.py

Have you tried to upgrade to a more recent version? like 1.20.x. I solved a similar Error by simply upgrading my NumPy to ver 1.20.3.

The reason could be the mismatch between dependencies. This worked for me:

pip install numpy --upgrade
