How can I download Pykd and use it to launch heap_stat.py?

I'd like to use heap_stat for performing dump analysis, this is what I did more than eight years ago.

I have Python installed on my machine, but not pip. As a result, I need to do the following in order to do a pip install:

python -m pip install <library>

When I try this with PYKD library, this is what I get:

python -m pip install -v pykd Using pip 25.3 from C:\...\AppData\Local\Python\pythoncore-3.14-64\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.14) ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pykd (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for pykd

Does anybody know where I can get a PYKD library from and how?

Once this is installed, I'll try to launch heap_stat.py inside a Windbg session (I've just installed Windbg, version 1.2511.21001.0).

Is this still possible and how do I need to install PYKD?

Inside a Windbg session, I'm planning to launch the following two commands:

.load pykd !py heap_stat.py

Is this still correct?

In the last eight years, has another script been created, making heap_stat obsolete? If yes, which one?
