How to pip install pickle under Python 3.9 in Windows?

I need the pickle package installed under my Python 3.9 under Windows 10.

What I tried

When trying with pip install pickle I was getting:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pickle (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for pickle

Then I tried the solution suggested in this question using pip install pickle5 but got the following error:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

I then tried to install the Tool suggested by the error but got same error message after trying again pip install pickle5.

Question

Which is the correct way to install pickle package under Python 3.9 in Windows 10?

UPDATE

There is no need to install pickle module as it comes already installed along with Python 3.x. Just needed to do import pickle and voila!

Solution

  • Cedric UPDATED answer is right. Pickle exists within Python 3.9. You don't need pip install pickle. Just use it.

    import pickle
