Facing error messages when importing sklearn in python i.d

Question

I get an error when importing sklearn in python 3.9. I am using I.D.L.E. in Windows. Installed it using cmd command: pip install -U scikit-learn as given in https://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html

The received error message is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Please help.

Apparently my scipy got corrupted somehow. Uninstalling and re-installing it fixed the problem. Thanks everyone who took their time and effort to help though.
