title: Python install xmlrpclib
body: <p>I'm in a virtualenv and trying to run a script I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "blah.py", line 15, in &lt;module&gt;
      from xmlrpc import server
  ImportError: No module named xmlrpc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ok so that seems that I need xmlrpc, which I'm assuming means I need xmlrpclib</p>
  
  <p>So I try that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(env) ❯❯❯ pip2.7 install xmlrpclib                                                                
  Collecting xmlrpclib
    Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement xmlrpclib (from versions: )
    Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external xmlrpclib to allow).
  No matching distribution found for xmlrpclib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ok, so then I'll try the --allow-external to get it working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(env) ❯❯❯ pip2.7 install --allow-external xmlrpclib                                                                                                                           ⏎ ◼
  You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Not sure why xmlrpclib isn't seen to be a valid argument?</p>
