Do you mean C5.0 which is further development of C4.5 tree algorithm?

If so, then the answer is no, it's not implemented in sklearn. Furthermore,
according to wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4.5_algorithm#Improvements_in_C5.0.2FSee5_algorithm>,
C5.0 is a commercial product and (AFAIK) algorithm details were never
published.

Though there's C50 package for R and GPL-licensed open source
implementation of C5.0, I doubt it can be incorporated into scikit-learn
because the later uses more permissive BSD license.

Also, I doubt that it'd qualify the requirement
<http://scikit-learn.org/stable/faq.html#can-i-add-this-new-algorithm-that-i-or-someone-else-just-published>
to be included:
