I was searching for the import «Random», none of the answers above worked but I made more research and got this. I’d be using Random as the module here.
If you’re getting:
«ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Random (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for Random», then you should check the python database here: https://pypi.org/ and search for the module you need.
If you see the module, copy the code to install the module into your shell/terminal, in this case I was copied the code for Random module which is «pip install random-string».
Make sure you’re connected to the internet, it should work.

You first have to enter the Python console to run Python code.
Type «python» and press enter to use the console after you have installed Python.
Also, please note that random is a built-in module, so there’s no need to install it using pip, and that also might be why pip couldn’t locate that package.

This mean that there no package with name random .
Also random module should be present by default . Cause this code works fine on machine with python2
import random
num = random.randint(10,20)
print (num)
And I am too getting the same error when I type this command
pip install random

Это означает, что нет пакета с именем random.
Также по умолчанию должен присутствовать случайный модуль. Причина, по которой этот код отлично работает на машине с python2
import random
num = random.randint(10,20)
print (num)
И я получаю ту же ошибку, когда я набираю эту команду
pip install random

You don’t have to install the random module, since it’s a built-in module and it comes with the standard Python installation.
If you want to use its functions and classes, you just have to import it:
# main.py
import random
print(random.randint(0, 100)) # 42

Sometimes you get an error when you’re trying to install a Python package
using pip. It looks like this:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement (from versions:)
No matching distribution found for
Some probable reasons for this error are:
-
PyPI server isn’t responding to your requests. It can happen either because
the PyPI server is down or because it has blacklisted your IP address. This
happened to me once when I was trying installing packages on a server.
This can be fixed by using a proxy with pip. See the solution below. -
You’re running an older pip (especially on Mac). This can be fixed by
upgrading your pip.
See this post on Stack Overflow.
Thanks to Anupam Jain who pointed this in a comment. -
The package you’re trying to install is not available for your Python version.
-
The package is not available for your operating system. This is a rare case
and only happens when the package is not pure-Python, i.e. it’s been
partially written in C or Cython. Such a package needs to be compiled for
every operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux) and architecture (32-bit/64-bit).
Suppose a package has only been compiled for Windows 64-bit, then you’ll get
this error if you try to install it on Windows 32-bit, or any other
OS. -
The package is not present on PyPI server. In this case pip will not work. So
you’ll have to download and install the package manually from Github or wherever
it is available.
Solution¶
I had this issue because PyPI server had blacklisted the IP
of my hosting provider, the obvious solution was to make pip install via a proxy.
But to see if that’s also the case with you, you can test it like this:
$ curl https://pypi.org
The requestors Network has been blacklisted due to excessive request volume.
If you are a hosting customer, please contact your hosting company's support.
If you are the hosting company, please contact infrastructure-staff@python.org to resolve
If you see the message similar to above, that means your IP has also been
blacklisted by https://pypi.org.
If you don’t see this message then the reason for the pip error could be that you’re using
an older version. See this post on Stack Overflow
for a solution.
Anyways, this can be fixed by using a proxy with pip.
Supplying a proxy address to pip is easy:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt --proxy address:port
Above, address and port are IP address and port of the proxy.
To find proxies, just search Google for proxy list.
Other things that I tried¶
These are some other things that I tried to get rid of this issue.
Although they didn’t work for me, but they might work for you.
- Changing DNS resolver of my server.
This makes sense if your server’s DNS resolver can’t find PyPI servers. - Reconfiguring SSL, reinstalling CA certificates.
This makes sense if you don’t have updated CA certificates which are used by
PyPI servers. - Downloading packages using
wget.
This is an alternative way to install Python packages. Download them viawget
and then install them usingpython setup.py install. In my case, the server was
blacklisted by PyPI so I was getting a 403 Forbidden error. - Downloading packages using
curl.
Alternative towget. In my case I didn’t get a 403 error but rather it just
created invalid tarball files, instead of actually downloading them. - Downloading packages using
gitorhg.
If your desired packages havegitorhgrepositories that you can clone, this
is a good workaround.
