I am trying to install the python sys package in my conda 4.13.0 environment on MX-Linux:

conda install sys

The answer is:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - sys

Current channels:

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

    https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page

The same happens for other common use packages like os.

I tried looking for sys in https://anaconda.org: I find lots of packages but not the sys one. I expected to find the sys package or a similar one.

    The `sys` package is part of python's standard library, which means it is already installed – Riley Martin Dec 01 '22 at 14:59
  • I added it as an answer, you could accept the answer if it works. – Riley Martin Dec 01 '22 at 16:13
  • Please don't @RileyMartin. Questions that are basically typos (trying to install a built-in library is kind of a typo), shouldn't be answered but closed. You can flag such questions instead of answering – Tomerikoo Dec 01 '22 at 16:14

The sys package is part of python's standard library, which means it comes with python and does not need installed separately.
