Answer 1

scikit-bio is not yet supported nor installable on Windows. We have plans to add Windows support in an upcoming release (tentatively 0.5.0, scheduled for early 2016).

Answer 2

I wrote a workaround for Windows10 here https://stackoverflow.com/a/34276863/4275222, but you have to install Anaconda's Python 3.5. It should work in Windows 7.
