You may need to install pip separately first, meaning that the python install didn't include it for some reason.

This should have you covered: How do I install pip on Windows?

Download get-pip.py from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py. As a .py file!

Then via command prompt you can do the following: python get-pip.py

This solved it for myself.

You are trying to execute a Linux code in a Python console. If you are using Win8, I would recommend to download and execute the Windows version of sklearn.
