Answer 1

Note that this error may also occure because you are using too old version of pip. Then it can be solved by:

pip install --upgrade pip

You can check your version by:

pip --version

Answer 2

I got the solution ,Try with --allow-unverified

syntax: pip install packagename=version --allow-unverified packagename

Some package condains insecure and unverifiable files. it will not download to the system . and it can be solved by using this method --allow-unverified. it will allow the installation.

Eg: pip install django-ajax-filtered-fields==0.5 --allow-unverified django-ajax-filtered-fields

Answer 3

Proxy Settings

Still unsure if my issue has the same cause as with the OP, but one error message was the same:

  Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement Django
No distributions at all found for Django

Talking to a colleague exposed it was a site-security-based issue. The following commands were required:

set https_proxy=*https proxy*
set http_proxy=*http proxy*
pip install Django

where *https proxy* and *http proxy* are appropriate URLs-with-ports for our site.
