error using pip search (pip search stopped working)

by

The pip search command queries PyPI’s servers, and PyPI’s maintainers have explained that the API endpoint that the pip search command queries is very resource intensive and too expensive for them to always keep open to the public. Consequently they sometimes throttle access and are actually planning to remove it completely soon.

See this GitHub issues thread …

The solution I am using for now is to pip install pip-search (a utility created by GitHub user @victorgarric).

So, instead of ‘pip search’, I use pip_search. Definitely beats searching PyPI via a web browser
