Pip module installation issue
<p>I'm having difficulty installing modules using pip for python. The exact error message is:</p>

<pre><code>Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement shapefile (from versions: DistributionNotFound: No matching distribution found for shapefile
</code></pre>

<p>When I type:</p>

<pre><code>pip install -vvv shapefile
</code></pre>

<p>I get a 404 status code saying: </p>

<pre><code>Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/shapefile/: 404 Client Error
</code></pre>

<p>I've browsed around and have seen there is a config file that allows you to change where pip installs modules from. However, I can't find this file in my /.pip folder.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how I would go about fixing my pip configuration so that I can install packages?</p>

<p>Here is a list that matches your module name: <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&amp;term=shapefile&amp;submit=search" rel="nofollow">PyPI search result for shapefile</a></p>

<p>Maybe the module is called <code>pyshapefile</code> not just <code>shapefile</code>.</p>

<pre><code>pip install pyshapefile
</code></pre>

python pip
