I am trying to use pip from behind a corporate firewall, and not having any luck. I have set the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables. wget works, but not pip. I tried this .
sudo -E pip install virtualenv export http_proxy=myproxyname.mydomain.com:8080 export https_proxy=myproxyname.mydomain.com:8080 /requests/packages/urllib3/poolmanager.py", line 214, in __init__ 'Not supported proxy scheme %s' % self.proxy.scheme AssertionError: Not supported proxy scheme None I looked at the poolmanager.py source. It looks like it is requiring the proxy variables to begin with a scheme. So I tried again with the following proxies .
export http_proxy=http://myproxyname.mydomain.com:8080 export https_proxy=https://myproxyname.mydomain.com:8080 (also tried this with http://) Downloading/unpacking virtualenv Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/ Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement virtualenv Cleaning up. No distributions at all found for virtualenv Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log This is the same error I get when I do not have a proxy at all, though I get it much faster when the proxies are set. When I try wget .
wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/simple/ It works fine, so I think the proxies themselves seem ok, unless I try them with pip. Using the --proxy option instead of envvars did not help. Same results. Any ideas? Thanks, Bean
