Cannot install modules using pip - it gives an error

Question

I uninstalled Python 3.8 and then installed Python 3.9.

Now, when I try to install any module using pip:

pip install pygame

It shows this error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

I tried uninstalling and installing Python again, but still no luck. I had no problem like this when I was using Python 3.8

When I tried installing Django, it worked but then I tried installing Pandas and it did not work.

Please help.

I think there are some compatibility issues with python3.9.
