I'm trying to run this file which requires skimage. So, I installed scikit-image using pip install scikit-image. But when I run the file, I get this error:

I searched on google as well as on StackOverflow. Many answers suggested to download and install 64-bit version of scikit-image. I tried that, with no luck. This answer suggested to install 64-bit version of Pillow. I tried that, with no luck.
I'm using python 3.7 on a 64-bit windows 8.1. I'm using python inside a virtual env created by Anaconda3.
So, I even tried conda install scikit-image. This upgraded my numpy and a whole lot of others, but didn't solve the issue. Instead, after doing this step, i wasn't even able to import numpy, cv2 and others. conda remove scikit-image got me back to previous state. I have even tried creating a whole new conda environment, but same issue.
I'm completely stuck here with no idea about how to proceed. Please help!!!
Using Python 3.6 resolved this error, I have no idea how or why! I followed the below steps and is working fine
conda create -n test01 python=3.6
conda install scikit-image
Another thing which I'm not sure matters or not is that I was launching spyder from anaconda prompt. But it turned out spyder was not installed in the env 'test01'. So, when I opened Anaconda Navigator, there was an option to install spyder. I installed spyder again and opened spyder there and it worked.
