Requests Caused by SSLError Can t connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available Error in PyCharm requesting website

Question

Using requests in Python3 Windows via Pycharm  and receiving SSL Module Not Available Error  I ve spent hours trying to figure out what could be causing this  I ve reinstalled Anaconda  and I am completely stuck  When running the following  def Earlybird daycount       url    https   msft com      response   requests get url      print response  Earlybird     I receive the error   requests exceptions SSLError  HTTPSConnectionPool host  msft com    port 443   Max retries exceeded with url     Caused by SSLError  Can t  connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available       I have no idea what could be causing this  As Anaconda is a recent install  I would assume everything would be up-to-date  so I m unsure if this is pointing to the wrong SSL   I am a bit new to python  so thanks for your patience  -

I got it solved by installing OpenSSL according to the following recommendation: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8046#issuecomment-450515815

Corresponding ticket in the conda repository: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8046

Update: the problem (in PyCharm) should be solved in 2019.1 version (Early Access Preview build is already available https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/nextversion/).

I use VSCode to edit and debug and the only solution that worked for me was to edit the environment variables in windows    Apparently this causes issues but I m not sure what they are   Running from the Anaconda prompt  as suggested by sayth  was NOT an option for me   Or perhaps the suggestion was to run the anaconda prompt and the from the anaconda prompt somehow start VSCode    Doesn t sound like a reasonable request   This appears to be a long running chronic issue without a definitive global answer that works for everyone

There is no need to add paths to environment if you use the Anaconda Prompt   Start the Anaconda prompt change to your directory and run your script or start your editor from there  This will ensure you are in the full Anaconda environment and the SSL error will stop   Whats the difference between command prompt and Anaconda Prompt  See  this SO answer to what is the difference between command prompt and anaconda prompt

I had the same thing on my Windows 10 installation  Anaconda3 would not open Anaconda Navigator before I copied libcrypto-1 1-x64 dll and libssl-1 1-x64 dll from Anaconda3 Library bin to  Anaconda3 DLL  Once I did that pip install in the base environment worked fine but not in another environment I created  I had to do the same as above in the new environment  That is  copy libcrypto-1 1-x64 dll and libssl-1 1-x64 dll from   lt env folder gt  Library bin to   lt env folder gt  DLL then it worked fine

Encountered the same SSL error while doing a pip install after a fresh anaconda installation  What helped was activating the base environment before doing the pip install  Do an activate base from cmd and then run your python script  You can also try  conda run -n base python script py  Reference - https   github com conda conda issues 8487

After spending a few hours going through the Anaconda documentation  Github issue tickets and so on  I finally managed to get it working on Windows 10 64-bit  Anaconda 3 7   The thing it worked for me was to install the Win64 OpenSSL v1 1 1d binary file from https   slproweb com download Win64OpenSSL-1 1 1d exe   NOTE  The version seems to matter  I have tried the 1 1 0L  as suggested in other comments and responses  but with this version  the problem persisted  If you keep having problems after installing some OpenSSL libs  keep trying until you find the right version  For Anaconda 3 7 on Windows 10 it seems that the right one is the 1 1 1d  I did not try the light version   Things that did not work for me    Following the Anaconda troubleshooting  https   docs conda io projects conda en latest user-guide troubleshooting html ssl-connection-errors   Activating the environment and doing what they say did not help at all  Changing ssl verify option to False Installing Anaconda 3 with the option  Add to Path  Manually copying the libcrypto and libssl DLLs to a different location  see https   github com conda conda issues 8273 issue-409800067

After dealing with the same issue on Windows 10  the solution is fairly straightforward   Open an Anaconda Prompt Run conda init Close and reopen any open Python interpreters  PyCharm  Anaconda Prompt  cmd  etc   where you want to run your code  Run your code again and it should work  I had upgraded both Anaconda and PyCharm  and had the issue with all combinations of versions until I ran conda init  which adds to your PATH much like the answer from Paul Stevens   Don t skip  3   restarting PyCharm or any other interpreter is key
