I was trying to get python and set up an environment to work on the upcoming project.
In Windows 10 Ubuntu bash, I run the following command successfully:
sudo wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tgz
Then I unzipped it and type in some other commands too, until I found that I need gcc in one particular step which I didn't have. So I try the following command:
sudo apt install gcc
But then it failed with the following error messages:

I am not familiar with it and it seems to me that it is some kind of connection problem. Why I am encountering this failure and how may I solve it? Any suggestion is appreciated!

The problem is most likely in the firewall settings that you are using, and possibly in settings IPv4 and IPv6. Reading:
