How to Install Standard Libraries in Python Virtual Environment

Question

When I work on a Python Virtual Environment ( $ python -m venv myenv ), I couldn't find the os module in it.

I tried $ pip install os , but couldn't find the package there as well. How do I go about installing modules from the standard library?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

OS module is usually included in the standard Python installation and you can't really install it with pip.

Answer 2

Are you able to import the module? If not, it sounds like your Python installation is broken. The standard library has its name because it is always included in a vanilla Python installation.
