I have done it with other libraries but I faced the same problem
Answer #1:
Go to this Website, download the pygame?1.9.3?cp36?cp36m?win_amd64.whl file, open cmd, change directory to the folder you have the .whl file end type:
pip install pygame?1.9.3?cp36?cp36m?win_amd64.whl .
This works when you are trying to install packages and firewalls are blocking the connection.
Answer #2:
I had the same issue in windows. My antivirus was blocking PIP requests. Try disabling your antivirus(in my case manually killed it from task manager).
Answer #3:
It looks like pip is not connecting to the internet. I have a few options —
I don’t know if they will work, but you can try them.
- Try to reinstall
pip(pip3if using python3) I had to do this on my
systeme, aspip3didn’t work initally either. - Check and see if you can ping a website from your terminal to check connectivity. You could have an error with your terminal (if using linux) and not with python itself.
Good luck, and hope this helps!
Answer #4:
I had same error message when I tried to install Python packages on my laptop with Windows 10 OS.
I tried all methods recommended online and it still didn’t work. I have been noticing for a while that Windows 10 automatically set proxy off causing Internet access problem sometime.
Then I googled with keywords: ‘windows 10 automatic proxy setting off’. Someone mentioned to modify regedit key value of [ProxyEnabled=1] under ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings
I opened the regedit and found it’s [ProxyEnabled=1]. I compared HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings
with another workstation with relatively clean image. It’s [ProxyEnabled=0] and no other extra entry for Proxy.
Solution: set ProxyEnabled=0 and delete any other Proxy entries.
It worked successfully! pip install package_name
