pipenv install failing due to timeout

Question

C:\\Users\\danie01\\fox\\test\\robotframework>pipenv install --python 3.5
Creating a virtualenv for this project...
Pipfile: C:\\Users\\danie01\\fox\\test\\robotframe         


        

Answer 1

Can you delete your old virtualenv C:\Users\danie01\.virtualenvs

Check the version of python inside Pipfile

[requires]
python_version = "3.5"

After go to your project to create again your virtualenv

cd C:\Users\danie01\fox\test\robotframework
pipenv install

Answer 2

This helped me when installing on Raspberry Pi 3B+ on Raspbian.

export PIPENV_TIMEOUT=9999
pipenv install requests

Answer 3

try doing pipenv --rm - removes virtual environment

then pipenv shell - this will again initiate virtual env

then pipenv install again

worked for me

Answer 4

Depending on where you're running the pipenv install command, set env variable PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR to off. In my case, I set this in my Dockerfile by having a line ENV PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR=false before RUN pipenv install

Answer 5

I was using the url = "https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple", and for each dependence installed, I would have a timeout error. When I changed the url to simple worked.

[[source]]
name = "pypi"
url = "https://pypi.python.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true

Answer 6

pipenv ran a subprocess, and that process took longer than the default 15 minutes, then expect.py was told to wait for a newline but it hit the timeout and here you are. First step is to increasing the TIMEOUT value in:

PIPENV_TIMEOUT 

https://pipenv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/#configuration-with-environment-variables

PIPENV_INSTALL_TIMEOUT
    Max number of seconds to wait for package installation.
    Defaults to 900 (15 minutes), a very long arbitrary time.

If it's hanging forever, then the question becomes: What was pipenv told to do that results in a block? Use the --verbose flag to tell pipenv to tell you what it's doing that results in a hang.

#try
export PIPENV_INSTALL_TIMEOUT=9000
