PIP Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement SQLAlchemy

Question

• Ubuntu 12.04
• Apache 2.2.22

pip has stopped working on my ubuntu server and gives the below error when I try to download anything.

Answer 1

Answer: upgrade pip.

I had version 1.1 installed. With sudo pip install --upgrade pip I got version 8.1.2 and the package I wanted installed properly.

Answer 2

Why dont you try pip install in super user. Type su and your password, then try sudo pip install SQLAlchemy

Answer 3

Although it is old question, my solution may help someone.

pip install SQLAlchemy --extra-index-url=https://pypi.python.org/simple/

This works for me.

Answer 4

You can pass a specific index url with -i:

sudo pip install SQLAlchemy -i https://pypi.python.org/simple

Answer 5

You need to fetch pypi over HTTPS, not HTTP.

For some reason your pip is configured to retrieve from http://pypi.python.org/simple/ rather than https://pypi.python.org/simple/

Answer 6

You are not using https connections, which had been used since late 2013.

You may use --index options to correct index url. See http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/pip_wheel.html#index-url
