# ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'truststore'

TL;DR: truststore is not in the stdlib. Run `pip install truststore` (Python 3.10+ required) and the import works.

```text
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'truststore'
```

## The fix

```
pip install truststore
```

Verify:
```
python -c "import truststore; print('ok')"
```
Expected output: ok.

Note: truststore needs Python 3.10+. On older Pythons the install succeeds but nothing works; upgrade Python instead.

## When this applies
- Adding OS certificate-store support to requests, httpx, or aiohttp.
- Fresh environments following a truststore tutorial.
- Corporate networks where the system store has the needed CA.

## When it does NOT apply
- SSL verification errors with truststore already installed, which is a certificate problem, not an import problem.
- Python below 3.10, where truststore cannot work at all.

## Why this happens
Python ships its own CA bundle via certifi and ignores the OS store by default, which surprises developers on managed machines. truststore bridges the gap but is a third-party package you must install. The name looks stdlib-official, which is why people assume it is already there.

## Compatibility
Python 3.10+. Works with requests, httpx, aiohttp, and urllib3 via the documented integration points.
