Installation of python libraries on OS X


When i run the command on terminal 'sudo pip install scipy'(infact with any python package like numpy,pandas..) on OS X yosemite, I get the following error.

Collecting scipy

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement scipy (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for scipy

My 'git clone ..' works perfectly fine(I installed home brew). I am behind a proxy and I have done aliasing.


Solution

  • Specify proxy for pip specially,

    sudo pip --proxy http://user:pass@proxy.server:port install packagename

    pip doesn't use the http_proxy variable,set in OS X terminal.
