I am trying to run a script that installs pip: get-pip.py and am getting a connection timeout due to my network being behind an HTTP proxy. Is there some way I could configure an HTTP proxy in my Python 2.7 installation to be able to install what I am trying to install?
Note: I am using Windows. Below is the error I am getting:
C:\SetupFiles>python get-pip.py Downloading/unpacking pip Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pip No distributions at all found for pip

Creating an incoming socket We create a socket serverSocket in the __init__ method of the Server Class. This creates a socket for the incoming connections. We then bind the socket and then wait for the clients to connect.
pip can be configured to connect through a proxy server in various ways: using the --proxy command-line option to specify a proxy in the form scheme://[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port. using proxy in a Configuration Files. by setting the standard environment-variables http_proxy , https_proxy and no_proxy .
Proxy is a structural design pattern that provides an object that acts as a substitute for a real service object used by a client. A proxy receives client requests, does some work (access control, caching, etc.) and then passes the request to a service object.
It looks like get-pip.py has been updated to use the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy.
Windows:
set http_proxy=http://proxy.myproxy.com set https_proxy=https://proxy.myproxy.com python get-pip.py Linux/OS X:
export http_proxy=http://proxy.myproxy.com export https_proxy=https://proxy.myproxy.com sudo -E python get-pip.py However if this still doesn't work for you, you can always install pip through a proxy using setuptools' easy_install by setting the same environment variables.
Windows:
set http_proxy=http://proxy.myproxy.com set https_proxy=https://proxy.myproxy.com easy_install pip Linux/OS X:
export http_proxy=http://proxy.myproxy.com export https_proxy=https://proxy.myproxy.com sudo -E easy_install pip Then once it's installed, use:
pip install --proxy="user:password@server:port" packagename From the pip man page:
--proxy
Have pip use a proxy server to access sites. This can be specified using "user:[email protected]:port" notation. If the password is left out, pip will ask for it.

On my network just setting http_proxy didn't work for me. The following points were relevant.
1 Setting http_proxy for your user wont be preserved when you execute sudo - to preserve it, do:
sudo -E yourcommand I got my install working by first installing cntlm local proxy. The instructions here is succinct : http://www.leg.uct.ac.za/howtos/use-isa-proxies
Instead of student number, you'd put your domain username
2 To use the cntlm local proxy, exec:
pip install --proxy localhost:3128 pygments If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
