Downloading/unpacking django-aja

Answer 1

Proxy Settings

Still unsure if my issue has the same cause as with the OP, but one error message was the same:

  Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement Django
No distributions at all found for Django

Talking to a colleague exposed it was a site-security-based issue. The following commands were required:

set https_proxy=*https proxy*
set http_proxy=*http proxy*
pip install Django

where *https proxy* and *http proxy* are appropriate URLs-with-ports for our site.
