The PyPI index page for fcrypt (https://pypi.org/simple/fcrypt/) has no file links on it. I don't know why, but there's nothing there for pip to download.
The "Download" link points to a file not on PyPI - maybe that's the issue here, PEP 470 describes the process that was undertaken to remove external file hosting from PyPI (and the reasons behind doing so).
