Make sure that you use the correct version of 'pip' installed for your Python interpreter located at 'dir:\projectPath\venv\Scripts\python.exe'

I am trying for a while now to install pygame into my Project but whatever I try is doesn’t work. The real frustrating part is that I managed to do it in the past. Witch might be the problem, but I am getting ahead of myself.
Environment:
Python 3.8
Windows 10
I use PyCharm
pip install pygame
i get:

I also tried some other stuff, like updating pip, but in the end I ended up with the same error message again. (If us want to see the full log just say it and I will upload the other 2 pages of error message.)
Am I right in my assumption that pip tries to install the game from a local file and that file is somehow corrupted or something?
If so how can I make pip install the packed form the Internet?
If not what is the problem?
I can even life with some weird solution like coping a entire project including its packages. (ok that would bug me a little, but as long as it works ...)
Since it was suggested to me I tried
pip install requests
in a new project:

Pip fails to install PyQt5 (any version) in macOS Monterey

I'm attempting to install PyQt5 through Pip/Pip3 in macOS Monterey. I've updated all Homebrew applications as well as all Pip installations using the recommended process. Every time I attempt to install the PyQt5 module, I recieve numerous errors. I've tried following some guides, and I've tried following related answers on this site. I've tried installing every version of this software from 5.12.0 to CURRENT. Here's the traceback:

I tested installing a different pip module but everything seemed to be in order.
I also tried easy_install but it installed for python 2.7, and not 3.
I think it might be something about my setuptools, but I don't know what needs to be done.
The pyzmail packages seems to be inactive now as the last commit and the last release were made 4 years ago. It does not seem to be updated for Python 3.6+.
There was an issue posted on the package's github page with the same error as yours: https://github.com/aspineux/pyzmail/issues/15. Someone posted a patch as a workaround but the best solution is to use pyzmail36 instead:
Tagging #cfenollosa #GheloAce in case you're still using this library
and are looking for a more maintainable way forward.
This repository unfortunately seems inactive, so I created a new
package on PyPI that includes all the fixes to make pyzmail
pip-installable on Python 3.6.
The name of the new package is pyzmail36. You can just update your
requirements.txt file to list pyzmail36 instead of pyzmail and all of
the rest of your code shouldn't need to change.
So just try with:
pip3 install pyzmail36
There are several ways to install pyzmail such as:
Try to use " pip install pyzmail36" by installing Python 3.6 first on your device.
Try to update the setup-tools by typing "pip install setuptools==20.1.1" and then install pyzmail.
Try to search for easy_install on Python 3.x, I have found several links for that.
Good luck.

Any idea?
Setuptools is already up-to-date:
$ sudo pip3.4 install --upgrade setuptools
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages
Oracle client is installed and happily used from PHP and others
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib
Well, the issue was caused by having a '/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/11.2_encryption_required' folder with an Oracle client where encryption was mandated.
Unfortunately in Oracle client you need to have a separate client if you want to use encryption for some of the connections you make and not for some of the other ones.
It seems that the cx_oracle installes's FindInstantClientRPMLib wasn't prepared to see any non-numerical values, so it failed on the "encryption_required" part.
Temporarily I have renamed the folder and then the installer error did go away.

Does unirest support python3?

Does unirest support python3? I have googled and zero information comes up. Even in the unirest documentation it does not say it is 2.x only which leads me to believe it supports both 3.x and 2.x. However the install fails with 3.4 and succeeds with 2.7. See below.

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /home/nick/.virtualenvs/mashape/build/poster

For now I am using 2.7 but I prefer to use 3.x for new projects.
The project is not Python 3 compatible. When the project doesn't explicitly state this (not in the setup.py trove classifiers nor in documentation), you'll have to look at the source code.
There I find:
no use_2to3 use in setup to automatically rewrite code on install
imports for urllib2, a Python 2 only library.
The project depends on the poster library, which is also urllib2 specific.
I'd use the requests library instead. It supports Python 3 out of the box, and apart from asynchronous requests it supports the same feature set (but better as it doesn't have the shortcomings urllib2 brings along). For asynchronous requests, you can add on requests-futures.
