am trying to install scikit-learn and pandas using pip on my Windows machine, but I keep encountering the following error. I tried reinstalling pip, but the issue persists. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. Tried pip install scikit-learn and pip install pandas but received the same error.

2. Tried deleting pip and reinstalling, but no changes.

3. Tried with a different package (pandas), but got the same error.
