Recently I had some trouble with pip in a corp environment and I learned some basic things that I will share:
- “pip config -v debug” and “pip config -v list” will show you where your pip.ini is and which is in use
- adding
- [global]
- trusted-host = pypi.python.org pypi.org files.pythonhosted.org
- to pip.ini will help in case of SSL interception in corp environments
- (for some other packages like azure you will also need to SET ADAL_PYTHON_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 and SET AZURE_CLI_DISABLE_CONNECTION_VERIFICATION=1 as environment var in your OS)
- you can upgrade pip using pip install –upgrade pip
- verification via pip -V
- often it will fail because of hash errors – just do pip cache purge
