Error installing Python 3.5 package 'socket' pycharm
13,233
If you open the file you downloaded, I mean setup.py
, you notice it consists of a single line:
raise RuntimeError("Package 'socket' must not be downloaded from pypi")
socket
module is already included in the standard library. You don't have to download anything. Just type import socket
and you're all set.

Can't install this package only with the PyCharm or command prompt:
Collecting socket Using cached socket-0.5.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\ADMIN_~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-v6d_dkqz\socket\setup.py", line 2, in <module> raise RuntimeError("Package 'socket' must not be downloaded from pypi") RuntimeError: Package 'socket' must not be downloaded from pypi Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\ADMIN_~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-v6d_dkqz\socket\
Downloading package separately and installing doesn't work too.
