Hi, first of all I'm new here so hello everyone! I have an issue. I'm trying to learn how to work with a specific API and I need JSON to do it. I used pip to install simplejson, but this didn't allow my code to work. So I then used pip to install json, or tried, but I keep getting a failure in command prompt (I'm on Windows).
C:\Users\spect>pip install json Collecting json Using cached json-99.0.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\spect\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-tfkprp8j\json\setup.py", line 2, in <module> raise RuntimeError("Package 'json' must not be downloaded from pypi") RuntimeError: Package 'json' must not be downloaded from pypi ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\spect\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-tfkprp8j\json\It's obvious to me what the issue is, pypi, but I don't really know how to install anything in python except using pip.
