I'm pretty sure this is not a problem. The actual error message is at
the bottom.

Now, I have no idea what causes this problem, and whether it's something
about your system, or what. I do know that installing extension modules
from source on Windows *can* be tricky.

scikit-learn doesn't provide Python 3.7 binaries yet. They do provide
binaries for Python 3.6. So the simplest solution to your immediate
problem might be to stick with Python 3.6 for the time being until all
the packages you rely on have been updated.
