Error updating oauth2client with pip install --upgrade

Question

I am attempting to update oauth2client by using:

pip install --upgrade oauth2client

I get the following error message:

Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement oauth2client in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Downloading/unpacking oauth2client
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for oauth2client in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Storing debug log for failure in /home/pi/.pip/pip.log

pip.log says:

However, I do have oauth2client installed:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt-cache search oauth2client
python-oauth2client - OAuth 2.0 client library - Python 2.x
python3-oauth2client - OAuth 2.0 client library - Python 3.x

Please could someone advise as to why I am getting this error and how I can update oauth2client.

Many thanks!

I tried to install the package in my Raspberry pi 2 B+.

pi@raspberrypi:/tmp/mytest $ sudo pip install --upgrade oauth2client Requirement already up-to-date: oauth2client in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Requirement already up-to-date:

httplib2>=0.9.1 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2client)

Requirement already up-to-date:

pyasn1>=0.1.7 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2client)

Requirement already up-to-date:

pyasn1-modules>=0.0.5 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2client)

Requirement already up-to-date:

rsa>=3.1.4 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2client)

Requirement already up-to-date:

six>=1.6.1 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2client)

I think there is something blocking your network to get this package. I could see the message on your logs "Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/oauth2client/", However this link is available to get the package.

• Deleuze: Thanks, it looks like there is a network problem. Won't ping Google. Will investigate a little further and most likely post another question!
