It looks like pip is not connecting to the internet. I have a few options -- I don't know if they will work, but you can try them.

1. Try to reinstall pip (pip3 if using python3) I had to do this on my systeme, as pip3 didn't work initally either.
2. Check and see if you can ping a website from your terminal to check connectivity. You could have an error with your terminal (if using linux) and not with python itself.

Good luck, and hope this helps!
