I am a beginner and I just started with machine learning. I am trying to import classes like imputer
from sklearn
but i am unable to do it.
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer,LabelEncoder,OneHotEncoder,StandardScaler
ImportError: cannot import name 'version' from 'sklearn.externals.joblib' (C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\externals\joblib__init__.py)

The problem sometimes happens due to the version. This may help: If you has written like this
from sklearn.externals import joblib
Modify it as this:
import joblib

I had the same problem. I have replaced
from sklearn.externals import joblib
with
import joblib
and it works fine in Python 3.7.2

I believe there was an update on Scikit-learn that render that import unusable.
I had my local installation to be version 0.20.3
and this import is pefectly working. But on my server I have installation 0.23.1
and this error pop up. Something must be chaging in the new version.
For my case, use import joblib
fix the problem. In your case it seems more complicated. This sounds very much likeky to be caused if you have more than one Scikit-learn version installed on your system. You need to uninstall all of them and do a clean install of sklearn.

Try
python -m pip install sklearn --upgrade
and
python -m pip install joblib --upgrade
and then, use this :
import joblib
Good luck.
