Issue
I'm hoping SO will be able to help with this problem.
I am unable to pip install any packages when I am in a virtualenv. I'm on Windows 7, and python 2.7.12.
For example, when I use git bash like this:
(venv2)
me@myhost ~/git/myrepo (master)
$ pip install requests
I get the following error:
Collecting requests

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requests (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for requests
However, when I am not in a virtualenv, I can pip install packages just fine. I've read quite a lot of SO questions about similar errors, but none match my case very well.
Some things I tried: uninstalling and reinstalling python; upgrading pip; switching python versions.
If you can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it
Solution
Old question, but I just had a very similar problem and there was no answer posted.
When my repo was on my G: drive, and python install was on C:. Moving the repo to the C: drive solved my issue and I was able to use pip to install my venv requirements.txt.
on G:\
(env) G:\repo\>pip install -r requirements.txt
