Error installing Python 3.5 package 'socket' pycharm

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
