I’m facing problems while trying to install the jira module via pip on my system. The installation process fails and the error messages indicate a possible network resolution issue or configuration problem. Below is a sample of the error output from my terminal:
$ python3 -m pip install jiraTool
Collecting jiraTool
[WARN] Retrying (3/5) after network error: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution
[WARN] Retrying (2/5) after network error: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution
[WARN] Retrying (1/5) after network error: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution
ERROR: No available release found for jiraTool
I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue so that I can successfully install the required module.
I faced a similar issue a while back and found that the problem was actually related to the local network configuration rather than the module itself. In my case, misconfigured DNS settings were causing pip to have trouble resolving device addresses, which resulted in repeated network errors. After checking and updating my DNS to a more reliable provider, the installation worked without issues. Additionally, ensuring that both pip and Python were updated helped. It might also help to confirm that no proxy settings are interfering with your connection.
It appears the package name might be causing some confusion. In my experience, verifying the exact module name on PyPI can often clear up issues like this, as sometimes the package may have a different name than expected. In my case I discovered that the module I needed was listed under another name, which resolved the error immediately when I corrected it. Furthermore, I ensured that the configuration settings were appropriate for my environment. Double checking your package name and repository details on PyPI may prove beneficial here.
hey, i had a simlar issue that turned out to be caused by my local firewall. i ended up disabling a few settings and it worked fine. maybe check if some security software is blocking pip from accessing the network.
I ran into a similar problem a while back and eventually traced the issue to a misconfiguration in my pip settings rather than a genuine network failure. In my case, the pip configuration file had entries that were forcing pip to use a non-standard index, which clearly didn’t resolve in my environment. After removing or updating those settings and explicitly specifying the correct PyPI repository, I managed to get past the error. I would suggest double checking your pip configuration file and verifying that no legacy settings might be affecting your installation process.
I encountered a similar installation issue once when running pip and discovered that residual environment variables were interfering with DNS resolution in my network. After inspecting my environment settings, I cleared some legacy proxy settings and ensured that my system’s DNS was working correctly by testing with a different tool. Additionally, I reviewed my pip configuration to confirm that it was pointing to the correct repository. Verifying these system-level settings helped clear the error and allowed the module to install normally.
