How to solve ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=’pypi.python.org’, port=443) with pip?

I recently need to install some packages

pip install future
pip install scikit-learn
pip install numpy
pip install scipy

I also tried by writin sudo before them but all it came up with the following errors in red lines:

Exception:

Method 1

Use --default-timeout=100 parameter with the install:

sudo pip install --default-timeout=100 future

Method 2

sudo pip install --default-timeout=100 future

or alternatively

export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=100

worked for me on Mac OS X

Method 3

They are two ways to handle this issue:

sudo pip install --default-timeout=100 future

or

pip install --default-timeout=100 future

Note: If you are not superuser of your machine, the sudo pip command will not work.

Method 4

If you are using Jetbrains Pycharm, the appropriate solution is :

Step -1 : connect to terminal/open terminal in pycharm.

Step -2 : type source <path to your projects environment eg: /users/name/myapp/venv>

Step -3: Run pip install <package name> or Run pip3 install <package name> as per your installation

This will automatically install package for your interpreter.
