Error: No matching distribution found for pip

Question

I am trying to install pip in my python 2.6.6, I have Oracle Linux 6

I followed the answers given at this link Link

I downloaded get-pip.py file and ran the following command

sudo python2.6 get-pip.py

However I get the following error

[root@bigdatadev3 Downloads]# sudo python2.6 get-pip.py

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pip (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pip

The error shows some network issue, but I have full open internet access here.

How can I install pip?

I also tried yum, yum install python-pip but it gave the following message

[root@bigdatadev3 ~]# yum install python-pip
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security, ulninfo
Setting up Install Process
No package python-pip available.
Error: Nothing to do

Update 1:

I used the following command,

python get-pip.py --proxy="MY_PROXY"

I get the following error

Answer 1

This is a proxy issue because of using sudo. Starting a command with sudo will not ensure that exports like export http_proxy=<MY_PROXY>are still up to date.

You should try that :

python get-pip.py --proxy="[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port"

and if you don't have user/passwd just :

python get-pip.py --proxy="proxy.server:port"

Example :

python get-pip.py --proxy="192.168.0.12:3128"

Answer 2

First run cmd as administrator in windows. Then just try python get-pip.py --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host=pypi.org. I have tried and it works for me.
