Error: no suitable distribution found for pip

Question

I am trying to install pip in my python 2.6.6 , I have Oracle Linux 6

I followed the answers given at this link Link

I downloaded the get-pip.py file and ran the following command

sudo python2.6 get-pip.py 

However, I get the following error

 [ root@bigdatadev3 Downloads]# sudo python2.6 get-pip.py DEPRECATION: Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team, please upgrade your Python. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.6 Collecting pip Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x3cad210>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',)': /simple/pip/ Retrying (Retry(total=3, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x3cadad0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',)': /simple/pip/ Retrying (Retry(total=2, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x3cad6d0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',)': /simple/pip/ Retrying (Retry(total=1, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x3cad790>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',)': /simple/pip/ Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x3cad110>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',)': /simple/pip/ Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pip (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pip 

The error shows some problem with the network, but here I have full access to the Internet.

How can i install pip?

I also tried yum, yum install python-pip , but it gave the following message

 [ root@bigdatadev3 ~]# yum install python-pip Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security, ulninfo Setting up Install Process No package python-pip available. Error: Nothing to do 

Update 1 :

I used the following command:

 python get-pip.py --proxy="MY_PROXY" 

I get the following error

Answer 1

This is a proxy problem due to the use of sudo. Running the command with sudo does not guarantee that the export, such as export http_proxy=<MY_PROXY> , is still updated.

You should try the following:

 python get-pip.py --proxy="[user: passwd@ ]proxy.server:port" 

and if you do not have user / passwd:

 python get-pip.py --proxy="proxy.server:port" 

Example:

 python get-pip.py --proxy="192.168.0.12:3128"
