It is blocking me from installing ReviewBoard. I am very eager to demonstrate
ReviewBoard capabilities to our corporate. Please do help.

This sounds more like a network configuration issue than anything. We have no control
over pypi.python.org, but if it was down, it's certainly back up now.

pypi.python.org was  not down. I could see the ReviewBoard hyperlink too on this page
which is pointing to download links. For some strange reasons, I am unable to install
ReviewBoard. I tired installing ReviewBoard on my dev-box instead of VMWare and faced
the same issue.
#4 kranth******@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
Is there any other way to install ReviewBoard  without using easy_install, by
downloading ReviewBoard and all its dependent softwared and install it.

You can download the .egg files from http://downloads.reviewboard.org/releases/ and
running easy_install on them. They'll probably error out about dependencies, which
you can then find eggs on pypi or elsewhere.

That said, if networking doesn't work in your VM, it's going to be hard for people to
use your Review Board server.

What you an do right now is run easy_install on another server with the -b
/path/to/download/location option. I believe this works, but this is just from
reading the docs.

We have someone working on a new installer that hopefully be available in a few
months. One of the goals is to make it easier to download everything that's needed so
it can be easily installed elsewhere.
