Pip Connection Failure: Cannot Fetch Index Base Url Http://Pypi.Python.Org/Simple/

Docker build error Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/

You have a pip problem, not a docker problem, you need to add pip install --index-url https://pypi.python.org/simple/ --upgrade pip to your docker file:

FROM jonasbonno/rpi-grovepi
RUN pip install --index-url https://pypi.python.org/simple/ --upgrade pip
RUN hash -r
RUN pip install requests
RUN git clone https://github.com/keyban/fogservice.git #update
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]
CMD ["fogservice/service.py"]

Maybe try with sudo -E:

 -E          The -E (preserve environment) option indicates to the secu‐
             rity policy that the user wishes to preserve their existing
             environment variables.  The security policy may return an
             error if the -E option is specified and the user does not
             have permission to preserve the environment.

On the assumption that your proxy settings are set in your normal user environment, but not the one you get when you run sudo.

If you've tried installing a package with pip recently, you may have encountered this error:

This seems to be an issue with an old version of OpenSSL being incompatible with pip 1.3.1. If you're using a non-stock Python distribution (notably EPD 7.3), you're very likely to have a setup that isn't going to work with pip 1.3.1 without a shitload of work.

The easy workaround for now, is to install pip 1.2.1, which does not require SSL:

curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz pip-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd pip-1.2.1
python setup.py install

If you are using EPD, and you're not using it for a class where things might break, you may want to consider installing the new incarnation: Enthought Canopy. I know they were aware of the issues caused by the previous version of OpenSSL, and would imagine they are using a new version now that should play nicely with pip 1.3.1.
