pip install requests error

Question

Trying to install requests, getting the following error message. I also tried to manually download them and run the same code based off local files, but I was running into the same issue. I don't think it is on the requests side, as I am getting the same error message if I try to download anything through pip.

This error is regarding internet connectivity not requests library installation — Neeraj Kumar, Jul 28 '17 at 16:13

Easy method is to give the proxy information.

 pip install --proxy=user:pass@server:port requests

2nd method is using exporting proxy setting

set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyAddress:port
set https_proxy=https://username:password@proxyAddress:port
pip install requests

Wait how do I get my proxy information? Is that where I put like localhost or something? – Nick Jul 28 '17 at 16:21

I'm having a lot of trouble finding my proxy information (similar to other users on that thread I don't directly control my network). Do you know of any other way to download it? I have the zip with the files downloaded which I believe contains everything – Nick Jul 28 '17 at 17:45

This happened to me with a development Vagrant virtual machine that I started up (i.e. via vagrant up while the internet was down. I guess, it after it came back on, the network settings were never updated.

All I had to do was halt the VM and restart it. The problem went away.

Maybe this helps someone.
