On my Windows 7 PC, I installed VMware VM for Linux Mint 15. Windows PC is behind corporate firewall /proxy server. Now inside Linux I issued:
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
Then created ~/projects folder and python virtual environment:
mkdir projects
cd projects
virtualenv venv
Then activated my virtual env:
. venv/bin/activate
So far no problem. Then tried to install python libraries, for example markupsafe:
pip install markupsafe
It throws an error:
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement markupsafe
No distributions at all found for markupsafe
Storing complete log in /home/me/.pip/pip.log
Inside pip.log I found:
<urlopen error [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer>
Installing any other library throws similar error. What's wrong here?

Can you confirm that the VM has internet access? you can test this by running the command curl checkip.dyndns.org – CyberJacob – 2013-11-05T22:25:08.750
Yes, FireFox working without any problem. I could also install curl. But your command: "curl checkip.dyndns.org" returned "(52) Empty reply from server". – synergetic – 2013-11-06T01:13:22.783
That sounds like something is interupting your connection to the PIP and DynDNS servers, probably the corperate firewall. Do you need any proxy settings in to get FireFox to work? – CyberJacob – 2013-11-06T21:58:26.040
