Different versions of SKlearn on python 2 and 3

Question

I am trying to run some code on python 2 and I keep getting this error No module named model_selection. I checked and for some reason the sklearn on my python2 is version 0.17 but when I try to update, it says that I already have an updated version but that is for python 3. How do I specifically update sklearn for python 2?

Error I get when running pip install -U scikit-learn: Requirement already up-to-date: scikit-learn in /home/ruven/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages (0.19.2)

Error I get when running python2.7 -m pip install -U scikit-learn:

Cannot uninstall 'scikit-learn'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

@Steven I just tried it but I still had an error. I have updated to question to include the error. Thank you. — Ruven Guna, Aug 14 '18 at 01:10

@dbliss I can't seem to delete the files in my /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages directory as I don't have the permission as this is my company's computer. — Ruven Guna, Aug 14 '18 at 01:31
@dbliss I actually manage to solve it with easy_install. Thanks for your help though! — Ruven Guna, Aug 14 '18 at 02:06
