Scikit-Learn Version Not Updating

I am trying to update scikit-learn library via pip, yet I have not succeded due to error occurences.

I have initially updated it using the command below:

sudo pip install -U  scikit-learn

Though, it says that:

Requirement already up-to-date: scikit-learn in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Which to my concern means that it is the latest version 0.19.0

But when I check the version directly in Python interpreter, it returns 0.16.1:

>>> import sklearn
>>> print sklearn.__version__
0.16.1

How can I update to the latest version?

By prepending sudo in the pip call, you are referring to the system's python instead of a virtualenv one.

If you are within a virtualenv, simply do pip install -U scikit-learn (i.e. drop the sudo).

EDIT: OP installed sklearn with apt, sudo apt remove --purge python-sklearn and reinstall sklearn with pip solved it.
