Problems with python easy install
easy-install, matplotlib, matplotlib-venn, python, python-2.7
Solution
Based on
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib-venn/: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed
and
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
it seems that your have network issue. Do you run your machine behind a firewall or a proxy?
For `easy_install` to work behind proxy, you have to setup needed environments, for example
set http_proxy="user:password@server:port"
set https_proxy="user:password@server:port"
For pip you can use `-proxy` argument. More details on pip usage behind proxy see in this thread: How to use pip on windows behind an authenticating proxy
Problem
I have a problem using easy_install for matplotlib-venn. I'm on a windows computer using python2.7. I'm suspecting the path is not correct but I do not know how to fix the problem. Could anyone help me? I'm attaching the output from trying to run the easy_install command in the CMD prompter. ``` C:\Python27\Scripts>easy_install matplotlib-venn Searching for matplotlib-venn Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib-venn/ Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib-venn/: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed -- Some packages may not be found!
