Hi!

I just installed Ubidots library in my Raspberry Pi and it installed without problems. I think this is an error related to pip, could you please do some of the steps below:

Reinstall pip (I’ll suppose that you use Raspbian or any Debian derivative for Raspberry Pi.)

sudo apt-get remove python-pip && sudo apt-get install python-pip

Try to install the ubidots library again

sudo pip install ubidots

If the error happens again, can you please publish the debug log that pip saves in /root/.pip/pip.log? So I can help you with more detailed data.

Regards.

Can you check the output of:

pip --version

And then if it’s different than pip 8.1.2 update it with:

pip install -U pip

And then try again to download the library.
