A few days ago, I tried installing Python 3.10.a3 for testing. After installing, I tried using the Python built-in modules, they were working fine. Then I tried going for installing third party modules using pip from the command prompt. While installing I noticed that some modules I could install perfectly but for most of the modules, they failed to install. After trying to install them, I tried looking for the full error message. After a lot of searching I found out that it is looking for Microsoft Visual C++ and couldn't find it because I haven't installed it and gave me that error. I haven't tried installing Python 3.10.0a4 yet and I don't know if it's already solved or not but this problem is continuously occurring in Python 3.10.0a3.

This is expected -- those modules contain C extensions for which no 3.10 wheels are available from PyPI yet, so pip tries to build them locally.

If you want to help testing, please install the recommended free version of the MS C++ compiler.  From CPython/PCbuild/readme.txt:

1.  Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 with Python workload and
    Python native development component.
