Russia Blocks PyPI, Python Package Repository

Russian users have discovered that PyPI, a popular repository for Python programming language packages and libraries, has become inaccessible to them. The website cannot be opened from Russian territory.

PyPI (Python Package Index) has become inaccessible in Russia — one of the world's most widely used software development resources containing packages and libraries for the Python programming language. The issue was noticed by Russian users who can no longer access the repository's website.

PyPI is an essential tool for developers used worldwide. Through it, programmers can download and share ready-made code components, significantly accelerating software development. The repository contains hundreds of thousands of packages for various application domains.

In recent years, Russia has blocked numerous services and platforms essential to developers. PyPI's inaccessibility directly affects the work of Russia's IT sector, as Python is one of the most widely used programming languages in business software, data science, and artificial intelligence development.
