If you are using Linux, as root:

env https_proxy=http://$web_proxy_ip:$web_proxy_port pip install something

When you use env it exports the variable https_proxy for the current execution of the command pip install.

$web_proxy_ip is the hostname or IP of your Proxy $web_proxy_port is the Port

Under our security policy I may not use https with pypi, SSL-inspection rewrites certificates, it breaks the built-in security of pip for www.python.org. The man in the middle is the network-admin.

So I need to use plain http. To do so I need to override the system proxy as well as the default pypi:

bin/pip install --proxy=squidproxy:3128 -i http://www.python.org/pypi --upgrade "SQLAlchemy>=0.7.10"
