Answer 1

You can use:

pip install --upgrade sklearn==0.19.1.

To fully answer your question, I dont know why pip uninstall is not working for you. This can be an alternative though.

Answer 2

As far as I can see you are running pip on Windows and I am assuming you are using cygwin. It might be the case that some of the messages are not visible. When pip hangs normally it would ask you “Do you want to continue (y/n)”?

Simply press y when the uninstalling process hangs and it should do the trick.

Alternatively, you can force it by running:

pip uninstall sklearn --yes

or

pip uninstall scikit-learn --yes

Finally, if you just need to upgrade sklearn to version 0.19.1, you don’t have to uninstall the older version; You just need to run the following:

pip install --upgrade sklearn==0.19.1

If you are using Google Colab, use command like:

!pip install scikit-learn==1.1

This will automatically uninstall the current version 1.2
