I am wondering how to define proxy setting in env variable on windows 7, I want this so i can use pip to pull packages for me, the same setting though working earlier on windows xp.

http_proxy = "proxy name:80"

now this same setting doesn't work, i tried doing in the cmd.exe prompt.

set http_proxy "proxy name:80"

P.S. i am a normal user and don't have admin privleges.

I am not a Windows user, but on UNIX systems the format of http_proxy and https_proxy is:

  http://proxyname:3128/

being the proxy hostname and port number respectively. You're saying:

  proxyname:8080

instead. (Note, https_proxy _also_ starts with "http:", not "https:" because the communication with the proxy is HTTP.)

Try the longer form. And ensure you have the port number right; proxies do not normally listen on port 80; they tend to listen on port 3128 or 8080.
