HTTPError at pip install

Trying to enter the pip install commands and I am faced with an error see below:

I am getting the same error. 404 on pip install requirements. I also verified in a browser the page comes up with a 404.

urllib2 is included in python 2.7. You shouldn't need to (and can't) install it if using python 2.7.

urllib 2 is no longer up. I was able to substitute urllib3 and it ran fine

[neubix]

https://pypi.org/project/urllib3/

With Python 2.7, changing requirements.txt to have urllib3 instead of 2 works for me.

Yep can confirm that changing requirement urllib2 to urllib3 fixes this problem
