I'm using VS Code on a 2018 Lenovo P51 with Windows 10 and a 32 GB ram. I'm trying to install the SKLearn module in Python. I've written pip install scikit-learn --verbose in the terminal to do so. It's able to install the build dependencies, the build wheel, and the backend dependencies. But when it gets to the preparing metadata stage, I get an error saying that preparing metadata(pyproject.toml) did not run successfully. How can I fix this error so that I can install SKLearn?
According to this similar issue in github, I found a possible solution.
You could try to set the environment variable:
SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib
