I am behind a proxy. but I can access bitbucket.org through browser. How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

Considering that you successfully installed pip and now you are trying to install another module using pip.

pip has "proxy" option.Please try to use it and check whether it is helpful.

Answer 2

This is more like a comment than an answer. If your access to internet is through the proxy, ie you have no access to internet except establishing the proxy, then pip/pip3 won't be able to download the files. Try ping google.com if you see no response then try installing an application like proxyfire to enforce the proxy settings across the entire system.

Hope it helps.

Error 10060 means it cannot connect to the remote peer.
You probably want to check if ping and telnet work through port 80. If only ping works and telnet doesn't, then HTTP port 80 is closed on your machine.

You can try to connect through another tool such as ncat

I know there exists a function in the urllib2 library that will allow you to handle proxy support which is something like:

import urllib2 proxy_handle = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http":"http://123.124.125.126:80"}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handle) urllib2.install_opener(opener)
