Make colab use the latest installation of a library

I am trying to use the bleeding edge version of sklearn installing it from their github as shown on line 2 in the below image. Line 5 imports some functions from this version of sklearn. This line works in my local and not on Google Colab. Am I missing something to hint the tool to use the latest installed version and not its cached version?

I am not sure why that's happening but if you uninstall scikit-learn before installing the latest dev, it would work:

[1] !pip uninstall scikit-learn -y
Uninstalling scikit-learn-0.19.1:
  Successfully uninstalled scikit-learn-0.19.1

[2]!pip install Cython
   !pip install git+git://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git
Requirement already satisfied: Cython in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (0.28.2)
Collecting git+git://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git
