repository mirror near to me, and then use the mirror with the -i or –index-url parameter of the pip install command like below.
- The -i or –index-url parameter’s value points out the Python Package Index base URL, the default value is https://pypi.python.org/simple if you do not provide it.
pip install scipy -i https://mirrors.sustech.edu.cn/pypi/simple
- Now the pip installation speed is very fast and successful.
