how to fix time out error when do “pip install“

when we install python package with pip install, we get time out error sometimes.

That is because the repository of the python packages has a big network latency.

We can use repo in China to fix this error with the following command.

 pip install your_package_name -i your_repo_url

for example, when we want to install lxml with aliyun repo, we can use

pip install lxml -i pip install xxx -i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple

The download speed will surprise you.

There might be some repos you want to save for later usage.

pip install xxx -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple/
pip install xxx -i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple
pip install xxx -i https://pypi.mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/simple/
pip install xxx -i http://pypi.douban.com/simple/
