list出错 pip_使用pip install，pip list等时出现不同的错误消息

I was attempting to fix another issue when i tried to do

pip uninstall scikit-learn

After doing that I received red text such as:

pip install --upgrade pip

Error checking for conflicts.

Any advise on how I would fix this (Windows). I do not even know what to search for this error. Any advice would be a blessing!

解决方案

The recommendation in your case would be to go into

c:\users\james\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages

and, for each folder that starts with "-", delete it and reinstall the corresponding package.
