I'm trying to install Flask-ACL: https://mikeboers.github.io/Flask-ACL
$ pip search acl | grep -i flask
Flask-ACL (0.0.1) - Access control lists for Flask.
flask-miracle-acl (0.2) - The fabric between the Flask framework and Miracle ACL
Flask-Sandbox (0.1.0)- ACL Route controls for Flask
Flask-SimpleACL (1.2)- Simple ACL extension
$ pip install Flask-ACL
Collecting Flask-ACL
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Flask-ACL (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for Flask-ACL
What's wrong here?
P.S. Pip was upgraded a few minutes ago.
UPDATE:
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
I'm running it under virtualenv.
pip install -Iv Flask-ACL

Cleaning up... No matching distribution found for Flask-ACL
As I can see, there is no such package on Pypi:
https://pypi.python.org/simple/flask-acl/
but this one exist:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-ACL
What is wrong with my pip?
The developers of Flask-ACL made a mistake that they did not manage to upload the Flask-ACL library onto PyPi(where pip searches for modules). so you will have to install it using pip from their GitHub page.
You can do so like this:
pip install "git+https://github.com/mikeboers/Flask-ACL"
A more common reason for this type of error is probably that your environment does not meet the package's requirements.
For example, this occurs if your environment's Python version does not match the required Python version specified by the package:
(my_python36_env)> pip install package_that_requires_python37
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement package_that_requires_python37.
ERROR: No matching distribution found for package_that_requires_python37.
Pay attention if your file ~/.pip/pip.conf not contain any additional index-url values.
Then it can trying to look for specific package version in repository that not exists.
Some workaround solution is to remove pip.conf
