pip install doesnt work , InvalidSchema: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support

Question

I am freaking out with this error I am struck on for 2 days. 2 days ago activated my virtualenv, then tried to install some dependencies but pip install keeps throwing this error.

pip install django

InvalidSchema: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support.

I tried installing request[socks], but then I get an error saying that it cannot make out the socks version

printenv | grep -i proxy
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1
http_proxy=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
FTP_PROXY=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
ftp_proxy=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
all_proxy=socks://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
ALL_PROXY=socks://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
https_proxy=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080/

This is proxy setting on my system, can anyone help me with this? Thanks edit: I tired reinstalling ubuntu, and I am still facing this error

Unset socks proxy, in your case: unset all_proxy unset ALL_PROXY
Install missing dependencies: pip install pysocks
Reset proxy, source .bashrc, and pip install works again with socks proxy.

I was also not able to install Django and other stuffs after activating venv than I finally did this [1]

type: sudo gedit .bashrc #or any text editor if gedit is not there 

      add this line at the last of your .bashrc file 
      export all_proxy="https://your_proxy:your_port/"

save the changes it should work. Thanks

Uninstall the installed package using

pip uninstall packagename

and set the proxy

http_proxy=http://username:password@host:port/
https_proxy=https://username:password@host:port/

and try to install using

pip install packagename
