Nexus pypi repository "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement"

Using nexus 3 I configured a proxy python repository using "https://pypi.org" as remote storage. The url of the repository is "http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/".

Then i used pip to install packages using nexus repository, in $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf I have the following configurations: 

[global]
index = http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/pypi
index-url = http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/stable
trusted-host = localhost

Now when I run pip search pexpect it works fine : 

User for localhost:8081: someuser
Password: 
pexpect (4.7.0)                  - Pexpect allows easy control of interactive console applications.
pexpect-serial (0.0.4)           - pexpect with pyseriat
...

But when I run pip install pexpect I get the following error : 

Collecting pexpect
User for localhost:8081: someuser
Password: 
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pexpect (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pexpect

Do I need extras configurations in pip.conf or inside my nexus repository ?

As an alternative, you can install the packages without modifying the config:

If you Nexus PyPi repository is http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/:

# To install, mind trailing /simple
pip install -i http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/simple pexpect

# To search, mind trailing /pypi
pip search -i http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/pypi pexpect

You should change this:

[global]
index = http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/pypi
index-url = http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/stable
trusted-host = localhost

to this (swapping stable for simple):

[global]
index = http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/pypi
index-url = http://localhost:8081/repository/pypi/simple
trusted-host = localhost
