ERROR: No matching distribution found for fastbook

Part 1 (2019)

I found kaggle.com and decided to try kaggle.com’s notebook and entered the following from the notebook:

!pip install -Uqq fastbook
import fastbook
fastbook.setup_book()

and get the following error messages (the WARNING appears 4X):

WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f2702a14cd0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution')': /simple/fastbook/
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fastbook
ERROR: No matching distribution found for fastbook

I haven’t gotten a response from anyone on their forum and so am asking here, why wouldn’t fastbook be found? If it happens in kaggle’s notebook, it could happen in anyone’s.

Does your kaggle kernel have internet access enabled?

You are brilliant! I didn’t even think of that as it’s a browser based feature, I assumed it was like paperspace that didn’t require me to do anything. I just looked for and found “Settings” and enabled Internet.

Thank you very much.
