Hello,
I am using Windows 8.1 (I do have a linux box setup with virtualbox also)
and I've used python previously but now it is giving me problems whenever I try
to install anything from PyPI using pip. The error I get from the command line
is
"Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement..."
I tried within the MinGW environment setup when I installed Git and was given
Git Bash as a console. I also installed Bitnami Django stack and even in that
environment, I get that error.
I did some Google searches but I seem to only happen when people are trying to
install Django. For me it is happening with django and any other pypi
installation with pip.
Interestingly, as I started trying to get advice with this, in the django chat
room - at the time I was trying to get django to work in my Windows
environment, someone suggested Vagrant. I started creating some boxes with
Vagrant and Puppet, Chef or bash scripts. I had problems with this inside a
Windows command prompt. So, I tried it under the MinGW environment I mentioned
above, and half the time, when I run Vagrant up, it starts the environment but
then it tries to connect using a public key authentication. Sometimes it will
just give up and let me run vagrant ssh or use putty. Other times it just
times out.
One idea I have is to import a VirtualBox "box" from Bitnami into VirtualBox,
their Django stack.
Does anyone have any suggestions about this problem I am having using pip
install <somepackage> inside Windows (Windows 8, if that matters)?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce
