runtime errors from pip(3) Ubuntu 20.04 [duplicate]

Question

I have a new Ubuntu 20.04 system and when I try to use pip I get:

rful011@secmgrtst01:~$ pip3 search elastalert
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/secretstorage/dhcrypto.py:15: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: int_from_bytes is deprecated, use int.from_bytes instead
  from cryptography.utils import int_from_bytes
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/secretstorage/util.py:19: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: int_from_bytes is deprecated, use int.from_bytes instead
  from cryptography.utils import int_from_bytes
ERROR: XMLRPC request failed [code: -32500]
RuntimeError: PyPI's XMLRPC API is currently disabled due to unmanageable load and will be deprecated in the near future. See https://status.python.org/ for more information.

I tried to upgrade to the latest pip version /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip but it made no difference.

I am baffled as to what to try next!

I have tried searching and there are lots of posts relating to runtime errors with pip i did not find anything relevant to my proble,

Answer 1

pip search is resource intensive so that is not available anymore as maintainers of pypi decided that. Also if you need more info, can check here as well. So as an alternative, you can use pip-search as that is mentioned in this answer. (I have not used that before though. So can not say how that performs.)
