Can't install any Python lib in Data Lab

[Tim Wolf]

I'm trying to install some python libs in Seeq Data Lab. But I receive the same error(see screenshot) for every library, that I try to install.
I also tried:

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install xlwt

 

Thanks for any help!

Hi Tim,

I believe you will need to set pypi.org to a trusted host following the instructions details at this Stack Overflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16370583/pip-issue-installing-almost-any-library

Hi Tim,

If above does not work then reach out to your organization IT helpdesk. Many organizations have internal white listed repositories for users that you should be able point your install commands.

Thanks for your help guys!
So I tried the code from stackoverflow: 

pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.org xlwt

Unfortunately I received the same error again. Then I checked with my It helpdesk and they said that, it's fine for other users. But they ask me if you need  any proxy settings within the console or system to make it work?

Although i know it is already quite a few months off, but I thought I should write something up maybe for future users.

You would need the proxy enabled on your Data lab Server and also the https://pypi.org need to be added to the whitelisted site for the firewall to allow the traffic to pass through.

Once you are done with that You can use the following command to make sure you are directing the terminal to forcefully use the Proxy

pip install xlwt --proxy http://proxyserver:port 

if you are looking to make it global run this before the above one.

export PYTHONUSERBASE=/seeq/python/global-packages

you can run this under the new terminal from the datalab. 

the above helped me over come the same error. Hope it helps.
