Forums

Hi,

I was trying to install some packages via pip (inside a virtualenv) and it can't fetch any of them from pypi. I searched through the forums and this seems to happen when there's an issue with the proxy. Is the proxy ok now?

$pip install -r requirements.txt
Downloading/unpacking MarkupSafe==0.18 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement MarkupSafe==0.18 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
No distributions at all found for MarkupSafe==0.18 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))

Thanks, Dan.

Could it have been a glitch? It worked for me...

Incidentally, since you have a premium account, you won't be going via the proxy...

It's not from my premium account: It's my colleague with a free account who has shared a terminal with me.

Trying to install any package fails which I think stems from the Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/

Anything else I could try?

$ wget pypi.python.org

you're quite right, the proxy is down. just a sec...

Marvellous. Seems to be working now.

All better now!
