Problem

Hey I'm trying to install some packages from a `requires` file on a new virtual environment (2.7.4), but I keep running into the following error: ``` CertificateError: hostname 'pypi.python.org' doesn't match either of '*.addvocate.com', 'addvocate.com' ``` I cannot seem to find anything helpful on the error when I search. What is going wrong here? Who in the world is `addvocate.com` and what are they doing here?
