If @Martijn Pieters' answer doesn't fix it for you, be sure to check the "Bypass proxy settings hosts" section.

Try removing the addresses in that field, click apply changes and try again.

The urllib module used by pip will automatically load proxy configuration from your OS.

In this case, this fails because you appear to have some malformed proxy configuration, in the proxy-bypass field. Verify that your proxy configuration is correct. On Mac, do so under System Preferences > Network.
