Here's my attempt to download python-rtkit using pip:

user@system:~$ pip install python-rtkit

Downloading/unpacking python-rtkit

Could not find anty download that satisfy the requirement python-rtkit

No distribution at all found for python-rtkit

Storing complete log in /home/jgreen/.pip/pip.log

Then in the log file I have this:

/usr/bin/pip run on Wed May 29 17:39:36 2013 Downloading/unpacking python-rtkit

The log implies to me that it couldn't find the pypi.python.org/simple page but I can ping pypi.python.org just fine. Any ideas on what could possibly be the problem here? Thanks in advance for all help.

EDIT: Ok, so going around the proxy didn't change anything. I made progress by doing the following: export HTTPS_PROXY="http://username:password@proxyip:port" unset http_proxy pip install --use-mirrors python-rtkit

That last line looks like it can find the server but can't write because of access restrictions. Then when I ran that line under sudo I got the same error as earlier.

It installs just fine for me. Can you install other packages through pip? - Blender
Are you behind some proxy? - Mike Müller
i managed to get it to try without going through the proxy and it still doesn't work, any other ideas? - avorum
you think at this point maybe it would be better to move this to superuser? It seems that the focal ponit of my problem is getting less programming focused. - avorum

So I finally managed to fix it by running the code without the sudo as talked about above and then seeing where it didn't have access and using chmod to make everyone have access to that specific directory so that it would work. A little gimmicky but whatever I'm out of other ideas.
