Configuring PIP to work from behind a proxy server

I installed python 3.4.3 that comes with pip

. I want to use pip because of the proxy, so I did the following:

Created C:\Users\foo\pip\pip.ini

and added proxy configuration section:

[proxy]
export http_proxy=my_proxy_server:1234

However, when I try to run pip to install packages, I get timeout messages:

C: \ Users \ foo> pip install paramiko Requirement already met (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko in c: \ python3 4 \ lib \ site-packages \ paramiko-1.16.0-py3.4.egg Collect pycrypto! = 2.4,> = 2.1 (from paramiko) Retry (Retry (total = 4, connect = None, read = None, redirect = None)) after connection broken 'ConnectTimeoutError (,' Connecting to pypi.python. Org timeout out. (connection time = 15) ')': / simple / pycrypto /

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in Adv.!

You can use the following command to make pip use your proxy. The basic format is as follows:

 [user:passwd@]proxy.server:port


For example:

pip --proxy http://<your proxy>:<your port> (for http)
pip --proxy https://<your proxy>:<your port> (for https)
