Is PyPI down right now?
Real-time PyPI status pulled from status.python.org. PyPI is operated by the Python Software Foundation and covers pip downloads, package uploads, the search API, and the project pages on pypi.org. If your CI is failing on `pip install` or `poetry lock` is timing out, this page will tell you whether PyPI itself is degraded.

Quick facts about PyPI
- PyPI’s status page is hosted at status.python.org (Statuspage.io).
- PyPI is fronted by Fastly — Fastly outages frequently cause PyPI degradation even when the origin is healthy.
- pip installs are read-heavy; uploads happen on a separate path that can fail independently.
- Test PyPI (test.pypi.org) is tracked separately from the production index.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my pip install slow?
Slow pip installs during a PyPI degradation usually look like long stalls on "Downloading" or "Collecting". Check the dashboard above — if PyPI shows degraded, it’s a CDN/origin issue. If it’s green, try `pip install --index-url https://pypi.org/simple/` to bypass any local mirror.
Does PyPI have a status API?
Yes — https://status.python.org/api/v2/summary.json. Standard Statuspage schema.
How do I install Python packages while PyPI is down?
If you have wheels cached locally, `pip install --no-index --find-links=/path/to/wheels` works offline. For CI, use a mirror like Bytesafe, Artifactory, or your cloud provider’s package proxy — they cache PyPI and survive PyPI outages.
Why does Poetry fail when PyPI is healthy?
Poetry hits the simple JSON index at /simple/<package>/. Even when PyPI’s web UI is fine, the JSON index can lag. Try `poetry --no-cache install` to see if the actual download path is failing.
