Pip Install Is Not Working

I am trying to install pygame with pip install . but every time i tried i faced to this error. Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection

Solution 1:

Go to this Website, download the pygame‑1.9.3‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl file, open cmd, change directory to the folder you have the .whl file end type:

pip install pygame‑1.9.3‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl .

This works when you are trying to install packages and firewalls are blocking the connection.

Solution 2:

I had the same issue in windows. My antivirus was blocking PIP requests. Try disabling your antivirus(in my case manually killed it from task manager).

Solution 3:

I had same error message when I tried to install Python packages on my laptop with Windows 10 OS. I tried all methods recommended online and it still didn't work. I have been noticing for a while that Windows 10 automatically set proxy off causing Internet access problem sometime.

Then I googled with keywords: 'windows 10 automatic proxy setting off'. Someone mentioned to modify regedit key value of [ProxyEnabled=1] under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

I opened the regedit and found it's [ProxyEnabled=1]. I compared HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings with another workstation with relatively clean image. It's [ProxyEnabled=0] and no other extra entry for Proxy.

Answer : set ProxyEnabled=0 and delete any other Proxy entries. It worked successfully! pip install package_name

Solution 4:

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!
