Pip suddenly cant find or install any package

Suddenly pip cant install or find any package, it cant even figure out its own version. I reinstalled python multiple times, i have the latest version of python 3 and pip. I also tried to clear pip cache. Nothing works, this is really annoying...

Errors:

>pip install redblacktree
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement redblacktree (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for redblacktree
WARNING: There was an error checking the latest version of pip

>pip config list
freeze.user='yes'
global.index-url='http://pypi.org/simple'
global.trusted-host='pypi.org'
install.user='yes'
list.user='yes'
uninstall.user='yes'
Solution

  • I fixed it by locating the pip.ini config file and removing the line index-url = http://pypi.org/simple
