pip - 403 Forbidden error

I'm trying to install a client library from a company called Stripe - from their site, the command is simply: pip install --index-url https://code.stripe.com --upgrade stripe

I get the error <urlopen error Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden> while getting https://code.stripe.com

Is this a deliberate policy?

I think this is because the PAW servers cannot tell if you are accessing an Internet resource through PIP or from your web app.

You have three alternatives:

(1) download the code your home machine from code.stripe.com, and then upload it.

(2) persuade the developers to put stripe.com on the whitelist

(3) pay for a premium account

Yeah, I'd concluded as much, just wanted to check.
