Why can't I find the packages found in the search results "pip search"?

First he is there:

$ pip search pylibpcap pylibpcap - pylibpcap is a python module for the libpcap packet capture library.

Then this is not the case:

 $ pip install pylibpcap Downloading/unpacking pylibpcap Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pylibpcap No distributions at all found for pylibpcap Storing complete log in /home/u0/riley/.pip/pip.log

What gives? I understand that there are other ways I can install this package, but why does pip do this?

Pip found a meta page that describes the package, but cannot find valid download links on it.

The author of pylibpcap can put the link to the source tarball in the package metadata on pypi or somewhere on his home page.

You can specify the tarball link manually, as shown in the answer that is related to @mrchampe .

This answer should have been the answer to the answer of J. F. Sebastian, as it is built on top of it, but it was difficult to copy and paste the content.

For people who also work with this problem and want to quickly fix it:

=> install libpcap first

=> then:

 sudo pip2 install http://ncu.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pylibpcap/pylibpcap/0.6.4/pylibpcap-0.6.4.tar.gz
