I've tried all the suggestions in this other question, but it just isn't working for me: Unable to upgrade pip

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and was able to install pip 1.0 using apt, but that version apparently has a bug which doesn't play nice with proxies, so I don't know how I can update it.

Here's what I'm getting in my console:

$ pip --version
pip 1.0 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip

try #1

$ pip --proxy=$http_proxy install -U pip
Downloading/unpacking pip
  Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pip
No distributions at all found for pip
Storing complete log in /home/falconer_k/.pip/pip.log

try #2

$ python ~/Downloads/get-pip.py --proxy=$http_proxy
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/command/install_scripts.py:3:
UserWarning: Module pip was already imported from 
/tmp/tmpqbetIm/pip.zip/pip/__init__.py, but /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.Verified
HTTPSConnection object at 0x392eed0>: Failed to establish a new connection: 
[Errno -2] Name or service not known',))': /simple/pip/

I can access the simple/pip folder directly using the browser:

https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/

I also don't have the option to use a non-proxied connection.

Here's the contents of ~/.pip/pip.log:

  • I was able to do this by tethering my internet connection to my laptop, then sharing that connection over ethernet to this machine to do the update using pip install -U pip. I'll leave it up in case someone else comes up against this. May 4, 2016 at 16:56

Just try the below

pip install --proxy=user:pass@server:port <package Name>

for example

pip install --proxy=http://10.10.10.150/accelerated_pac_base.pac quandl
