pickle module is part of the standard library in Python for a very long time now so there is no need to install it via pip  I wonder if you IDE or command line is not messed up somehow so that it does not find python installation path  Please check if your  PATH  contains a path to python  e g  C  Python36  or something similar  or if your IDE correctly detects root path where Python is installed

pip install pickle5  import pickle5 as pickle  pb   pickle PickleBuffer b quot foo quot   data   pickle dumps pb  protocol 5  assert pickle loads data     b quot foo quot   This package backports all features and APIs added in the pickle module in Python 3 8 3  including the PEP 574 additions  It should work with Python 3 5  3 6 and 3 7  Basic usage is similar to the pickle module  except that the module to be imported is pickle5  https   pypi org project pickle5

Pickle is a module installed for both Python 2 and Python 3 by default  See the standard library for 3 6 4 and 2 7     Also to prove what I am saying is correct try running this script   import pickle print pickle   doc      This will print out the Pickle documentation showing you all the functions  and a bit more  it provides     Or you can start the integrated Python 3 6 Module Docs and check there    As a rule of thumb  if you can import the module without an error being produced then it is installed  The reason for the No matching distribution found for pickle is because libraries for included packages are not available via pip because you already have them  I found this out yesterday when I tried to install an integrated package       If it s running without errors but it doesn t work as expected I would think that you made a mistake somewhere  perhaps quickly check the functions you are using in the docs    Python is very informative with it s errors so we generally know if something is wrong
