Error to clone Python environment by Python command

Question

Hello , i have tried to clone the Python environment through packet manager at ArcGis pro but i got error ,i believe because of the firewall .it is not creating the new environment and not installing any package for the new environment So I tried to do clone at Python command conda create —clone arcgispro-py3 —name but I got this error : Conda Error : conda Http error : http 000 connection failed for url Elapsed An http error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL Http errors are often intermittent and a simple retry will get you on your way as info : I have ArcGis pro 3.1 How could I solve it ?

@spiderman90 have you whitelisted the following URLs?

If you are behind a proxy, try configuring %programfiles%\arcgis\pro\bin\python\.condarc for use behind a proxy server.

https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/configuration/use-condarc.html#config-proxy

Note that being behind a proxy server might cause you issues elsewhere as well. We are investigating this.

Thanks for ur reply .

i did it already ,it started to clone after I did conda config  - -set  ssl_verfiy False .and it started to download packages but after 5 min , it stopped and did  not complete the clone process .

it shows me error message

Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(10054 )

Do u have any idea for me ?what should I do to clone the environment with conda ?

If you wanna create a clone environment from arcgipro-py3, then there is no a workaround to clone the env unless you do not need arcpy library.

I'd try to run the following command before clonning the environment to verify is not SSL related. This is not  a good practice (execute it at your own risk)

conda config --set ssl_verify False

If the issue still persists, check with IT if any proxy or firewall rule is blocking requests.

Another option could be, uninstall completely ArcGISPRO (including Windows Registry, local folders, everything) and perform a new clean install in case any other conda from previous versions is altering somehow current conda installation.
