[scikit-learn] Deprecation of the 'sklearn' PyPI package starts December 1st

[Loïc Estève]

Hi everyone,

a reminder that using sklearn rather than scikit-learn in pip commands,
for example "pip install sklearn", will start failing in three days
(December 1st) over some predefined time windows.

More information about the 'sklearn' package deprecation is available at
https://github.com/scikit-learn/sklearn-pypi-package.

Cheers,
Loïc
