Got the same issues with Python 3.7 and 3.6.5 and laters...

Actually even when I solved the above I had other issues to install python-crfsuite and Tensorflow:

Got: 

error: invalid argument '-std=c99' not allowed with 'C++/ObjC++'

The only thing that worked for me was to run with Python 3.6.4

Go to here to install 3.6.4 and try again.

Or do it with Conda/Anaconda here

If you are facing issues with pkgs that you had on Python3.7 and you have mac try solving it with:

Install Anaconda. To do so, download https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-5.1.0-Windows-x86_64.exe and install it.

Then, you can install matplotlib using the Anaconda Navigator or using the following command line from the shell:

conda install matplotlib

I advise you to work with Anaconda (or something equivalent). It ships pre-built packages, and its very convenient in a Windows environment where building some packages (numpy, scipy, ...) can be very difficult.

some packages like matplotlib will be easier to install from this URL: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ the better way is to install anaconda from the URL below: https://www.anaconda.com/download/

Quickest way I solve any issue with pip installs on windows is use these precompiled packages.
