Proxy awareness with pip
Question:
I have tried to set up a python development environment at my work place to create some basic applications. I can’t seem to get pip to work, for example I type in pip install numpy and get the following error message:
Retrying (Retry(total=3, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'ConnectTimeoutError(<pip
._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x035884B0>, 'Connection to pypi.python.
org timed out. (connect timeout=15)')': /simple/numpy/
The research I have done seems to indicate that proxy awareness is my issue, is this correct, if so I am not really sure on what this means exactly or how to resolve it.
Answers:
If you know your proxy information, you can pass that to your command line:
pip install --proxy=user:pass@server:port numpy
A full string could be something as simple as:
pip install --proxy=http://proxy.example.com numpy
Where proxy.example.com is your (corporate) proxy server. You only need to pass user:pass and port if the proxy also requires that information.
This too works
pip --proxy http://user:pass@server:port install libraryName
pip doesn’t work if you are using a proxy server for installing packages.
To fix it: Go to control panel -> Internet options -> Connections ->LAN Settings ->Unmark ‘use proxy server’ options.
Try using pip after this, it should work.
You can start using proxy server after installing the package.
Just try the below
pip install --proxy=user:pass@server:port <package Name>
for example
pip install --proxy=http://10.10.10.150/accelerated_pac_base.pac quandl
Go to environment variables, and add 2 new variables:
http_proxy and https_proxy to your proxy address. It’s worked for me.
I was getting this error message in a virtualbox, and tried every variation of the suggestions here to fix what appeared to be a proxy error. In the end it turned out that the time was set wrong within the virtual machine.
I encountered the same issue. It turns out that the system time was wrong. Once I corrected the time, pip installed the module without a hitch.
So, check to make sure that your system time is set correctly. It appears that pip does not work correctly when the clock is off.
In order to fix it temporarily, I disconnected from my Secure VPN and then I was able to proceed with download. So, yes, its definitely an issue with proxy.
I wanted to install pygame. I use my personal internet connection. But I received an error.
Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ConnectTimeoutError(<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x0000023C1F52C400>, 'Connection to 10.50.225.222 timed out. (connect timeout=15)')': /simple/pygame/
In order to avoid this, go to environment variables. Delete http_proxy and https_proxy from user variables located in environment variables.
Then I could download the pip whatever thing(It means pygame).

-
Find a file name ProxyServer and delete it.
