Connection Timing out while install p4python using pip

Question

There seems to be a connection time out when trying to install p4python on a ubuntu system. I am trying install this using pip on an ubuntu install on a vm.

Here is the stack trace:

Probably you have some firewall limitations (or using proxy). Please use following command instead:

pip install p4python config --global http.sslVerify false --trusted-host pypi.org
