Error installing Python 3.5 package 'socket' pycharm
package, pycharm, python-3.5, sockets
Solution
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.
Problem
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.
