If adding pypi python org as a trusted host does not work  you try adding files pythonhosted org  For example  python -m pip install --upgrade --trusted-host files pythonhosted org  lt package-name gt

It seems that Scrapy fails because installing Twisted fails  which fails because incremental fails   Running pip install --upgrade pip  amp  amp  pip install --upgrade incremental fixed this for me

I had same issue  I was trying to install mysqlclient for my Django project   In my case the system date time wasn t up-to date  Windows 8   That s causing the error  So  updated my system date time and ran the command pip install mysqlclient again  And it did the work   Hope this would be helpful for those people who re executing all the commands out there  suggesting in other answers  without checking their system date time

One note on the above answers  it is no longer sufficient to add just pypi python org to the trusted-hosts in the case where you are behind an HTTPS-intercepting proxy  we have zScaler    I currently have the following in my pip ini   trusted-host   pypi python org pypi org files pythonhosted org   Running pip -v install pkg will give you some hints as to which hosts might need to be added

User · Answer

You can try sudo apt-get upgrade to get the latest packages  It fixed the issue on my machine

If you re using python3  you can try this too   python3 -m pip install --upgrade Scrapy --trusted-host pypi org --trusted-host files pythonhosted org

In Windows 10   search the drive you have installed the conda or it should be in C  Users name AppData Roaming pipright with your mouse right click and select edit with notepad leave the  global  and replace what ever you have in there with blow code  Ctrl s and rerun the code  it should work    trusted-host   pypi python org pypi org files pythonhosted org

It looks like they are also using pypi org now   I added the following to  appdata  pip pip ini and was able to download my packages from behind an HTTPS-intercepting proxy   trusted-host   pypi python org files pythonhosted org pypi org

User · Answer

Thank you for the solution  In my case the file  appdata  pip pip ini was not present  I created it manually with this content    global  trusted-host   pypi python org files pythonhosted org pypi org pypi io

Pretty unique case here  but having Fiddler running  not even targeting the same process  gave me the same SSL errors  Running pip install with --verbose showed an error with Fiddler  closing Fiddler immediately fixed the issue

As stated here https   bugs python org issue28150 in previous versions of python Apple supplied the OpenSSL packages but does not anymore    Running the command pip install certifi and then pip install Scrapy fixed it for me

Something to try --- tell python to not use https with the index directive and a http    address  not https       pip install --index-url http   pypi python org simple  --trusted-host pypi python org  Scrapy   You may be behind a corporate firewall and Ive have experiences where even the above failed  though Im not going to pretend like I know enough about firewalls or SSL to understand why  In that case the only way I was able to get around that was to get a certificate file and pass it to python  See kenorb   s answer here for details

pip install --trusted-host pypi python org autopep8  any package name    This command will add pypi python org to the trusted sources and will install all the required package   I ran into the error myself and typing this command helped me install all the pip packages of python
