By default, the only site that pip fetches data from is <https://pypi.org>, which is currently up. Are you perhaps behind a firewall that blocks access to PyPI? Can you access pypi.org from the command line of your system (e.g., with curl or wget)? -- John Wodder

Hi,

I'm very new to this python community.

This system is a FedoraCore 32 x86_64 (Rawhide) freshly installed.

I was reading about beautifulsoup... and was directed to use pip "pip install beautifulsoup4". I got nothing. strace -xvfp <pid of pip> shows that pip is in (hung?) in the recvfrom(...) system call.

Is pip trying to "talk" with a site that's down? Perhaps I'm not doing something correctly?

Thanks for your help,
