I have python38 installed via macports. It is the default python via python_select.
I don’t think I should file a ticket in this case because this error isn’t local to the python(s) installed via macports. It even occurs when running a pip search from pythons installed manually. The error occurs when I do $ pip search <anything> Begin error: ERROR: Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_internal/cli/base_command.py", line 224, in _main status = self.run(options, args) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_internal/commands/search.py", line 62, in run pypi_hits = self.search(query, options) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_internal/commands/search.py", line 82, in search hits = pypi.search({'name': query, 'summary': query}, 'or') File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1109, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1450, in __request response = self.__transport.request( File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_internal/network/xmlrpc.py", line 46, in request return self.parse_response(response.raw) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1341, in parse_response return u.close() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/xmlrpc/client.py", line 655, in close raise Fault(**self._stack[0]) xmlrpc.client.Fault: <Fault -32500: 'RuntimeError: This API has been temporarily disabled due to unmanageable load and will be deprecated in the near future.
