Feedparse module on Raspbian

[asexton]

Hi All,

I'm a complete beginner to this and just got my Raspberry Pi today. I followed all the set up instructions available on the adafruit tutorial site, with no errors. I decided to try my first project which is the gmail notifier using LED's available here: http://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi- ... are-python.

However, I'm having trouble installing the feedparser module and keep getting the error in the attached image. I have followed the instructions step by step multiple times and still get the same error. Anywhere I looked online I see people discussing feedparse errors but none of them have the same issue.

If anyone could be of any assistance I would really appreciate it as I'm excited to get my pi projects up and running and have come to a momentary stand still.

Thanks

It worked for me. I'm assuming you have a working Internet connection and can access things like http://google.com or http://news.bbc.co.uk from your RPi.

So we need to look at why you can't resolve and connect to pypi.python.org

Start with

Code: Select all

ping pypi.python.org

Which should generate something like

Code: Select all

root@pi ~ # ping pypi.python.org
PING global-ssl.fastly.net (185.31.17.184) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 185.31.17.184: icmp_req=1 ttl=54 time=53.7 ms
64 bytes from 185.31.17.184: icmp_req=2 ttl=54 time=54.0 ms
^C64 bytes from 185.31.17.184: icmp_req=3 ttl=54 time=53.6 ms

--- global-ssl.fastly.net ping statistics ---

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 53.672/53.833/54.084/0.322 ms
root@pi ~ #

Then try

Code: Select all

lynx http://pypi.python.org/simple

or

Code: Select all

curl http://pypi.python.org/simple

or

Code: Select all

wget http://pypi.python.org/simple

If those work then lets look in /root/.pip/pip.log to see if it tells you what failed.

It could be a transient error so re-running the 'sudo pip install feedparser' make work second go.

Apologies for the delay in replying, despite my best efforts I didn't get a chance to try this at work.

The issue I had in accessing the pypi website was resolved once I ran the wget command. Thank you very much. I never predicted I'd get such satisfaction out of lighting up an LED
