Installation behind proxy not working. about scienceplots

Hi @Pleuel

Sorry -- I don't have any experience with this. Let me know if you find a way to get it working!

I am trying to install SciencePlots behind a proxy using pip. pip install SciencePlots --proxy http://proxy-ip:port While the package download is working correctly, I encountered the following Error during the installation procedure:

Running command pip subprocess to install build dependencies
Using pip 22.0.3 from C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-standalone-pip-_nduq2qr\__env_pip__.zip\pip (python 3.9)
WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ConnectTimeoutError(<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000002902A131340>, 'Connection to pypi.org timed out. (connect timeout=15)')': /simple/setuptools/

To me it seems like the proxy is somehow not consequently used. Is there a way to fix this?

I also had this problem in version 1.0.9, however it didn't happen in previous versions. This seems to be related to setuptools related changes in 1.0.9.

Maybe you can try the previous version, the following command works for me.
pip install SciencePlots==1.0.8 --proxy http://proxy-ip:port

I will close this issue due to inactivity. I haven't tried to reproduce it, but looks more a problem with pip more than SciencePlots.
If it persists, and can be isolated to this package (I mean, running pip install --force-reinstall numpy --proxy http://proxy-ip:port does not raise errors, but pip install --force-reinstall SciencePlots --proxy http://proxy-ip:port does), let us know. We will kindly try to help.
