Question

In my working environment, internet access is managed by NTLM authentication and is associated with Windows user account, and easy_install or pip doesn’t work:

C:\>easy_install django
install_dir D:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\
Searching for django
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/django/
Download error: timed out -- Some packages may not be found!
....

C:\>pip install django
Downloading/unpacking django
  Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement django
No distributions at all found for django

Is it possible to get them working in such an environment?

Answer 1

Use NTLMAPS, and point pip to the local proxy.
