[Django]-No distributions at all found for some package

Note that this error may also occure because you are using too old version of pip. Then it can be solved by:

pip install --upgrade pip

You can check your version by:

pip --version

Proxy Settings

Still unsure if my issue has the same cause as with the OP, but one error message was the same:

  Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement Django
No distributions at all found for Django

Talking to a colleague exposed it was a site-security-based issue.
The following commands were required:

set https_proxy=*https proxy*
set http_proxy=*http proxy*
pip install Django

where *https proxy* and *http proxy* are appropriate URLs-with-ports for our site.

Cleaning up...

The only solution worked for me:

1. uninstall pip (pip uninstall pip)
2. download pip package from pypi (https://pypi.org/project/pip/)
3. execute python setup.py install (not using easy_install)
4. then you can install any package you want.

Inspecting the logs reveals the following line:

less .pip/pip.log

Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/WSGIUtils/: connection error: [Errno1] _ssl.c:493: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

In an earlier version of the comment I attributed this behaviour to https://pypi.python.org, but this is not the issue, since I can contact this site (from another computer!) with firefox and all certificates are OK. So this is probably a problem of some installations of pip—I encounter it unter SLES 11 which has (among other things) the “oldstable” openssl-0.9.8.

Try upgrading pip.
Version 7.1.2 does not have this issue.

easy_install pip==7.1.2

I did following to install Openpyxl in Python version 3.5 after the following error with command

pip install openpyxl –allow-unverified openpyxl

That worked! Thanks Martin F for your tip.

Lots of solutions to this, most effectively coming down to update PIP.
On MacOS (Sierra), This was my solution:

• Download python3 installer of choice
• Install Package (this includes a newer version of pip)
• Remove old version of python from $PATH in ~/.bash_login (new one added by installer)
• pip3 install packagename (no sudo)

After that I was still prompted to update pip and did so: pip3 install --upgrade pip

You can install the library manually:

git clone https://github.com/roddds/django-ajax-filtered-fields.git

then go to the folder:

pip install .
