when I try to install a package out of my anaconda environment I get a "ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL" error message (full error below). Specifically it looks like the error is in urlsplit.
I am behind a proxy, thus I have tried to explicitely set the proxy details both in the .pip/pip.conf and explicitely appending it to the command line. The error is slightly different in the two cases. Note that in my password I have none of these special symbols @, $, -, #. I do have some special characters though since they are required by the system. I have tried to put them into quote, double quotes, backslahs... nothing.
$ cat .pip/pip.conf
[global]
timeout = 60
index-url = https://pypi.python.org/simple/
trusted-host = pypi.python.org
pypi.org
files.pythonhosted.org
proxy = http://username:password@ipadress:port
[install]
index-url = https://pypi.python.org/simple/
The original commnadnd + error message is here:
$ pip3 install Cython

By appending the proxy to the command line, I get a slightly shorter message:
$ pip install Cython --proxy = https://username:password@ipadress:port

What else can I try?
Thank you.
PS, why am I using pip3 instead of pip? For some reason my default pip is the anaconda one, thus I can also anaconda3/pip install it, but then /usr/bin/python would not recognize it.
$which python
> /usr/bin/python
$ python --version
> Python 3.5.2
$ which pip
> /usr/bin/pip
$ pip --version
> pip 21.3.1 from /home/userid/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)
$ which python3
> /usr/bin/python3
$ python3 --version
> Python 3.5.2
$ which pip3
> /usr/bin/pip3
$ pip3 --version
> pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.5)
I then tryed to sudo apt-get remove python-pip and sudo apt install python-pip but I got the same anaconda3 version back:
$ which pip
> /usr/bin/pip
$ pip --version
> pip 21.3.1 from /home/userid/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)
