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

  • This is very strange. If you go to link address which you give log output you can find there `matplotlib-venn`. you sure that there is no encoding problems in your input name? https://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib-venn/ – itdxer Nov 26 '13 at 15:08

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

  • Thank you, I will try this out. However I have never performed this type of setup before so I dont now how to do it. Do you have any step by step instructions for a novice like me? – jonas Nov 27 '13 at 06:58

    @jonas for pip, see link in my answer. how to setup env variable in win is described [here](http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm). – alko Nov 27 '13 at 07:02
  • Ok, which path should I put in? – jonas Nov 27 '13 at 07:09
  • @jonas not path, you should set http_proxy variable for easy_install. Value depends on your proxy configuration – alko Nov 27 '13 at 07:13
  • sorry, I was using the link with step by step instructions you send me..I'll try again – jonas Nov 27 '13 at 07:20

I think this is your solution

easy_install pip
pip install matplotlib-venn

No module matplotlib-venn in easy_install

And for future, use pip for install any package for python.

For me the same error occurred for rtree package and I did the cache search and installed the liraries

So the only solution is hacking the source code:

sudo
