pip install <package name> is failing for every package for me. This is what I get:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement <package-name (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for <package-name> I saw similar questions on Stack Overflow, but they don't seem to be fully related to this one.
Also, this post suggests that this might happen if PyPI is down or my IP address is blacklisted. It seems both are not true for my case.
pip shows up-to-date on running pip install --upgrade pip.

To Solve Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Error You just need to update pip and your error will be resolve.
If you want to force pip to clear out its download cache and use the specific version you can do by using --no-cache-dir command. If you are using an older version of pip than upgrade it with pip install -U pip. This will help you clear pip cache.
You can run “pip install --upgrade pip” to install and use the new version of pip. To update pip2 or pip3 using this command, only replace the first pip with the pip version.
Upgrade pip as follows:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python Note: You may need to use sudo python above if not in a virtual environment.
Python.org sites are stopping support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1. This means that Mac OS X version 10.12 (Sierra) or older will not be able to use pip unless they upgrade pip as above.
(Note that upgrading pip via pip install --upgrade pip will also not upgrade it correctly. It is a chicken-and-egg issue)
This thread explains it (thanks to this Twitter post):
Mac users who use pip and PyPI:
If you are running macOS/OS X version 10.12 or older, then you ought to upgrade to the latest pip (9.0.3) to connect to the Python Package Index securely:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | pythonand we recommend you do that by April 8th.
Pip 9.0.3 supports TLSv1.2 when running under system Python on macOS < 10.13. Official release notes: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/
Also, the Python status page:
Completed - The rolling brownouts are finished, and TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 have been disabled. Apr 11, 15:37 UTC
Update - The rolling brownouts have been upgraded to a blackout, TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 will be rejected with a HTTP 403 at all times. Apr 8, 15:49 UTC
Lastly, to avoid other install errors, make sure you also upgrade setuptools after doing the above:
pip install --upgrade setuptools If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
