I was trying to install a few packages in a virtual environment using pip. I was getting the error:
Downloading/unpacking pymongo
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pymongo
No distributions at all found for pymongo
I found that some say a workaround is downgrading your pip. I downloaded and installed pip 1.2.1 Now I get the error:
(env1)PS C:\dev\virtualenvs> pip install bottle
Downloading/unpacking bottle
Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement bottle
No distributions at all found for bottle
The log says:
urlopen error [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions>
How do I correctly use virtualenvs on windows?
EDIT: I am able to use pip when not in my virtualenv.
In this case the operating system should not matter. Also this should not be a question about virtualenv (as suggested in your title). pip just cannot access the remote end that it would like to access. Does it take some time for the error message to appear (is this a timeout issue)? If yes, then this is a networking issue, maybe triggered by a firewall. You should check this first.

i want to use LDAP with python and dont have the opportunity to use pip with pypi.python.org, pypi.org and files.pythonhosted.org. (cant get through Proxy, wont change)
so i need to download the package and install it.
as i understand there are .whl and zipped packages.
i tried bonsai but got the error C1083 because of the missing file basetsd.h
i tried python_ldap but it called for pyasn1, so i tried to install pyasn1 but it gave me a 407 Proxy Authorization Required -- Some packages may not be found Line with Error "Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pyasn1<0.5.0,>=0.4.6')
There where no red or yellow errors so i tried python_ldap again, but with the same error like on the first attempt.
how do i setup a LDAP for Python if i cant reach pypi.python.org, pypi.org and files.pythonhosted.org ?

Python: 3.10.1
Pip: 21.2.4
I've installed python 2.7.14 on my 1and1 shared hosting server using the following tutorial: http://geeksta.net/geeklog/python-shared-hosting/
it works and has a bunch of the modules that I use. However, i'd like to have numpy and pandas on this installation as well.
I'm having all sorts of issues, but the most basic one is when typing:
pip install numpy
which leads to the following error:
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/numpy/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available. - skipping
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement numpy (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for numpy
So it looks like maybe it's failing because I don't have SSL installed, but all the suggestions for installing SSL seems to require sudo (which I can't access root on a shared host).
A second question is that I'm wondering about is if I need to use a virtualenv or not. I'm new to this but it seems like it will allow me to install things, but again I tried to install virtualenv (as stated in the tutorial):
pip install virtualenvwrapper
but I get the same sort of SSL error:
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/virtualenvwrapper/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available. - skipping
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement virtualenvwrapper (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for virtualenvwrapper
any help that can direct me in the right direction to get these modules installed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Updated to ask additional approach Given the issue seems to be not being able to download a python package on a https site (b/c SSL isn't available), is it possible for me to download the package manually using my webbrowser then FTPing the file into my server filesystem and then using SSH commands to install the modules? If so, any tips would be much appreciated.
Okay, I finally figured it out. Basically, downloading each package manually from their various websites and ftp-ing them to the shared host and then unzipping and installing them manually is what worked for me. This avoids having to connect to an SSL site to download the file on the shared host.
for numpy:
I downloaded the source file (numpy-1.14.2.zip) for numpy from here: https://pypi.org/project/numpy/#files
FTP that to the python folder in my shared host.
unzipped it
unzip numpy-1.14.2.zip
then ran setup.py from inside the numpy-1.14.2 folder
python setup.py install
Then I repeated this for pandas and it's dependencies:
setuptools
NumPy: 1.9.0 or higher
python-dateutil: 1.5 or higher
pytz: Needed for time zone support
I am new to coding. While i try to install python-forecastio using pip3 for python3,it gives me below error.
$ sudo pip3 install --trusted-host pypi.python.org python-forecastio
pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.
Collecting python-forecastio
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/python-forecastio/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available. - skipping
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-forecastio (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-forecastio
What is wrong is, as you may have guessed, the SSL module is not available.
So the simple way to fix the problem is to reinstall python. But the alternative is to run this simple line of code: import ssl. If you get an error you will know your python 3 installation is corrupt so you need to reinstall python, or if you don't get an error try using easy_install-3.x (what ever the module or link you want)(Use the specific python you have installed version in place of "x"). Hope I helped!

Edit: Yes I know this question already exists, except my question is a bit different and none of the solutions fixed it.
I do most of my Python stuff when I'm at work and not on my personal machine, but I decided to install it on my personal computer as well. I fresh installed python 3.6.1, and created a virtual environment with virtualenv. Then within the virtualenv I tried to pip install urllib (or any module) and I received the error:
(pdbot) C:\Users\user\Documents\pdbot>pip install urllib
Collecting urllib
Using cached urllib-1.21.1.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

SyntaxError: invalid token
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-50tn0wlb\urllib\
I read elsewhere that this error had something to do with setuptools not being properly installed. So I ran this to attempt to fix the issue:
easy_install -U setuptools
I ended up receiving an even weirder error next:
(pdbot) C:\Users\zeke\Documents\pdbot>easy_install -U setuptools

This looks like a permissions error, but I ran these both in an administrator command prompt (Windows 10) and got the same result. I am the only user on this computer and I have all admin permissions. Is this virtualenv causing an issue? How do I remedy it?
EDIT: I was able to fix the permissions issue by leveraging the python executable like so:
python -m easy_install -U setuptools
But it didn't fix the python setup.py egg_info issue. I still get this error message when trying to pip install anything:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-50tn0wlb\urllib\
I have tried both python -m pip install urllib and pip install urllib and neither work.
I had the same problem when trying to install urllib, but after doing a pip search urllib, I discovered that the problem was due to the version of urllib. From the search:
$ pip search urllib
...
> urllib5 (5.0.0) - Just increment the number and create a new lib. Never fix the original one.
At the end, a simple
pip install urllib5
within an elevated shell solved it.
Your problem has to do with permissions. The related/similar tools setup_tools, easy_install, and pip all tend to set a default set of permissions on files and folders they try to create in the package installation folder(s), rather than trying to match access permissions of the location they're installing in.
On Linux systems, where files and folders individually have permissions, this is frequently bypassed with the sudo command. On Windows, the equivalent is to run the installer as an Administrator. Since you're in the console, you have to open a console with Administrator privileges to run the pip command in.
Notable under Windows, the modules installed with pip from an Administrator console are still accessible to all users of the system that have the proper path in the PYTHONPATH system environment variable. Under Linux however, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the files themselves may not be created with read and execute access for other users and may need to have their permissions manually modified after installation.
WARNING: urllib vs urllib2 vs urllibx
Both other answers claim that the problem is you're not specifying the correct "version" of the module in the call to pip. Neither is correct, as the error clearly indicates an installation folder access permissions violation causing the failure, but they also incorrectly recommended VERY unsafe behavior.
pip install urllib != pip install urllib5 these are two completely different packages.
The documentation for pip (https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#id17) clearly says the way to specify a module version explicitly is pip install 'urllib==5'.
As part of how the package management engine implemented by pip works, running the command pip install urllib will always try to use the latest version of the urllib package, so you shouldn't need to specify the version unless you have some reason that you need a very specific version of the module.
There are two points to make in order to answer your question:
1. You are lucky you did not install that package!
The package you were trying to install was a maliciously created python package that was designed to look like a real package (in this case urllib3). If you had installed it, the package would have operated as normal except it would have sent some basic information about the system on which you installed the package to a URL (you can see more details on this here). You can read more about this fake package at either of the following links:
https://app.threatconnect.com/auth/incident/incident.xhtml?incident=5256822&owner=Common%20Community (you can sign up for a free account to view this one)
http://www.nbu.gov.sk/skcsirt-sa-20170909-pypi/index.html
Sending basic information about your systems to an unknown source isn't the worst thing you could do, but is certainly something you want to avoid when possible.
2. To properly install a package...
Specifically urllib:
To install urllib, you need to specify the version of the package you would like to install. For example, pip install urllib3.
Any package in general:
As #Elisabete Coelho suggested, you can use the pip search <package-name> feature to view the available packages. This is not perfect, however, as it may list malicious libraries like the one you were trying to install. A good guideline is that you should follow the installation instructions in a package's documentation closely to avoid any unforeseen issues. This is just an unfortunate necessity of living in a world where people make pretend python packages.
I'm struggling with installing MySQL-python on my Centos VPS. I have "main" Python 2.6 (one that came automatically with CentOS) and another one I installed after (2.7). So I used this command:
easy_install-2.7 MySQL-python
But it reproduces following error:
Searching for MySQL-python
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/MySQL-python/
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/MySQL-python/: unknown url type: https -- Some packages may not be found!
Couldn't find index page for 'MySQL-python' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)

Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/: unknown url type: https -- Some packages may not be found!
No local packages or download links found for MySQL-python

Thanks for reading my question and possibly trying to help!
Perhaps you're using an old version of easy_install, that may be the root of problem. You can follow instructions from distribute doc package, and than install pip. Since you have installed pip you can install MySQL-pythoneasily.
Maybe try use some sentence,which include mysqldb.
