Hello @tnksnsk314

The Python pip tool needs to connect to the internet to download the Eikon Data API package from the https://pypi.org/ repository. The error message means the pip tool cannot connect to the internet behind the client network.

I highly recommend the client contact their local IT department to verify this network issue.

You need to ensure correct version of pip is used. I tried the following command and it worked for me
pip3 install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org eikon
hope this helps
