problems when setup a python package

I want to install the python package "pip" to my server. But I got a problem when downloading the source code. The entire information is listed below.

    [[email protected] ~]$ easy_install pip      
    Searching for pip
    Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
    Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/: [Errno 218603680]_ssl.c:554: error:0D07A0A0:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_mbstring_copy:unknown format -- Some packages may not be found!
    Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe misspelled?)
    Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
    Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/
    Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/: [Errno 218603680] _ssl.c:554: error:0D07A0A0:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_mbstring_copy:unknown format -- Some packages may not be found!
    No local packages or download links found for pip
    error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pip')

I also tried to install some other packages, such as nose, distribute, and got the same mistake. BTW, I used SecureCRT to ssh the server. Is this a problem about OpenSSL? How could I install pip successfully?

Not sure what's wrong with easy_install, but this is how I've installed pip on linux:

cd /tmp
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum search nginx
yum -y install python-pip
yum install libxslt-devel libxml2-devel
yum install gcc
yum install python-devel
echo 'alias pip="/usr/bin/pip-python"' >> ~/.bashrc

This is for Fedora. For Ubuntu you might need to install the above libraries only use apt-get install instead of yum

You can use your distribution's package manager to install pip.

  • On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-pip
  • On Fedora/RedHat: sudo yum install python-pip

To install it manually:

  1. Download the source installer from the pypi entry for pip. Scroll down to find the installer. Here is a direct link to version 1.4.1 (current at this time).

  2. Expand the archive: tar xvzf pip-1.4.1.tar.gz

  3. Run the setup script sudo python pip-1.4.1/setup.py install
