Cython 0.18 installation + skimage package - error

[Emmanuelle Gouillart]

Hello Lakshmi,

git is not a Python package, but a standalone version control software. 

If you're starting using Python, I recommend that you install a
distribution of Scientific Python with all the Python packages that you
need, this will save you some trouble! Canopy Express is a good pick, but
I don't think that skimage is shipped with the free edition. On Windows,
you might want to try instead Anaconda from Continuum, which comes with
the scikit-image and the scikit-learn (AFAIK, SVMs are found in the
scikit-learn). If you install another distribution, you should first
remove the Python-related directories that you had installed, otherwise
there might be conflicts.

Hope this helps,
Emmanuelle
