Pip Install Timeout Issue

I am trying to install pandas in my company computer. I tried to do

pip install pandas

but operation retries and then timesout.

then I downloaded the package:

pandas-0.22.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

and install:

pip install pandas-0.22.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64

But I get the following error:

Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None,
status=None)) after connection broken by
'ConnectTimeoutError(<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection
object at 0x0000000003F16320>, 'Connection to pypi.python.org timed

      Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pytz>=2011k (from pandas==0.22.0) (from versions: )
    No matching distribution found for pytz>=2011k (from pandas==0.22.0)

I did the same with package: pandas-0.22.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

I also tried to use proxies:

pip --proxy=IND\namit.kewat:[email protected]:8880 install numpy

But I am unable to get pandas.

when I tried to access the site : https://pypi.org/project/pandas/#files I can access it without any problem on explorer


This works for me:

pip --default-timeout=1000 install pandas

PIP has a default timeout of 15 sec, reference guide. Pandas is a relatively big file, at 10MB, and it's dependant Numpy, at 20MB could still be needed (if it is not installed already.). In addition, your network connection may be slow. Therefore, set PIP to take longer time by, for example, giving it 1000 sec:

pip --default-timeout=1000 install pandas

as suggested by @Pouya Khalilzad.


In my case, my network was configured to use IPV6 by default, so I changed it to work with IPV4 only.

You can do that in the Network connections section in the control panel:

'Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network Connections'

Than disable the IPV6 option:
