Can't install pygooglechart via pip

$ pip install pygooglechart

It is really strange that I can not install pygooglechart via pip (pypi)

I've tried to open the link directly in browser
http://pygooglechart.slowchop.com/files/download/pygooglechart-0.3.0.tar.gz

it can be opened very well. Is there anything wrong with your server setup? cause pip is trying to fetch the package through your server but gets an 403 error.

That's pretty odd. I gave it a shot from my workstation and it seemed to work through pip.

Can you try it again? Maybe it is an intermittent problem with my server?

Same thing here, Ubuntu 12.04:

$ pip install pygooglechart

After some investigation it looks like it might be Cloudflare's "Browser Integrity" check. I'm using Cloudflare as a CDN but it offers these "security" checks too. I've disabled this particular check, and a few others that might cause 403's.

Can you please try again and let me know if you're still having issues or not.

[max-arnold]

The issue is gone. Thanks!

[gak]

Awesome! Thanks for the debug help. 👍

Just to inform you, I've recently experienced some issues with CloudFlare hosted sites, and as it turned out some IPs were placed to country-wide blacklist due to illegal content (see this blog post in russian: http://habrahabr.ru/post/190798/). Since blocked addresses are often shared with other innocent sites, sometimes you can not access absolutely legal content due to this stupid policy.

When I looked up pygooglechart.slowchop.com ip address, possible blacklist hit was my first suspection. Fortunately, this was not the case (I tried installing it from UK server and the problem was still present). Also, I was able to install it anyway by upgrading pip to 1.4.1 inside my virtualenv.

It seems to be down again, I still get
$ pip-2.7 install pygooglechart

same here

Sorry guys, this should be fixed now. Files are now hosted on PyPI as well as http://slowchop.com/pygooglechart/download/

pip install pygooglechart will work as intended.
