Python pip broken after upgrade

Question

I see the following error from pip in several versions of python3 that I run:

... raise MissingSchema('Proxy URLs must have explicit schemes.') pip._vendor.requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Proxy URLs must have explicit schemes. 

It looks something like a query library.

And this is with pip 1.5.2 on python 3.3.4

Answer 1

I assume that the new version more strictly checks the proxy server settings. If you have an environment variable, for example http_proxy=localhost:3128 , then update it to http_proxy=http://localhost:3128 , and you will be fine. (Exactly for https_proxy - in fact, I think the latest pip versions insist on using HTTPS?)

Answer 2

try using pip --proxy http:proxy_name:port install packet format
