I recently need to install some packages
pip install future
pip install scikit-learn
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
I also tried by writin sudo before them but all it came up with the following errors in red lines:
Exception:

Use --default-timeout=100 parameter with the install:
sudo pip install --default-timeout=100 future
sudo pip install --default-timeout=100 future
or alternatively
export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=100
worked for me on Mac OS X
They are two ways to handle this issue:
sudo pip install --default-timeout=100 future
or
pip install --default-timeout=100 future
Note: If you are not superuser of your machine, the sudo pip command will not work.
Upgrading pip solved the problem for me.
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Change the value of PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (the value is an integer in seconds).
set PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=1200
Just throwing this out there to avoid any confusion, for pip3 you can use
sudo pip3 install --default-timeout=100 future
If you are using JetBrains PyCharm, the appropriate solution steps are :
connect to terminal/open terminal in PyCharm.
type
source <path to your projects environment eg: /users/name/myapp/venv>Run
pip install <package name>or runpip3 install <package name>as per your installation
This will automatically install package for your interpreter.
My problem was that pip couldn't load a specific version of a package, which lead to the same error message i.e. ReadTimeoutError. Try to find the failing package and update it to the latest version.
