Using a proxy with conda
<p>I need to configure a proxy in order to upgrade my Python environment in Anaconda. I specified the HTTP_PROXY environment variable:</p>

<pre><code>set HTTP_PROXY=myproxy:8080
</code></pre>

<p>and modified the .condarc file in C:\Users\I328807:</p>

<pre><code>proxy_servers:
    http: http://myproxy:8080
</code></pre>

<p>but conda still struggles with the connection:</p>

<pre><code>C:\Users\I328807&gt;conda install python=3.5
