title: Having Trouble Installing Python Packages With pip
body: <p>I am relatively new to python and trying to install the base64 package through my cmd (that is system32/cmd.exe &lt;- not sure if this is relevant).</p>
  
  <p>I am using python 2.7.12 64 bit pip 9.0.1</p>
  
  <p>My code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install base64
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My error is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not find a version that statisfies the requirement base64 (from   versions : )
  No matching distribution found for base64  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was successfully able to install the datetime package, but I received the above error when trying to install pprint. So it is not directly related to base64.</p>
  
  <p>Will be happy to post any other needed information at request, please give me a general idea how I can track down the information needed to solve this problem.</p>
