MAC OS  I had the same problem on Mac OS Mojave  and solved the problem as mentioned on this link - Openssl issue    If you do not have Homebrew or don t know what is Homebrew    usr bin ruby -e    curl -fsSL https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew install master install   Or if you already have Homebrew installed    brew update  amp  amp  brew upgrade brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl  brew install https   github com tebelorg Tump releases download v1 0 0 openssl rb   Update  Keep in mind  that I had to use --ignore-dependencies flag  because  other packages installed that depend on OpenSSL    Additional if the problem is caused after using pyenv  you can fix it by using   brew reinstall python

I ran into this issue with Visual Studio Code installing pylint from the VS Code prompt  I was able to overcome the issue by opening the Anaconda installation directory and running   pip install pylint   Then VS Code was happy  but that did not fix the issue as running    amp  C  Users happy Anaconda3 python exe -m pip install -U pylint   pretty much gave the same error so it seems that VS Code is unable to access the python modules   Note that VS Code picks up the first python env it see when installed  the bottom left of the screen indicates which env is being used  Clicking on that area allows to set the environment  So even if you ran the pip install for an environment VS Code could be looking at a different one   Best approach was to make sure that VS code had the correct python environment selected and that same environment is in the system PATH  under System Properties --  Advanced --  Environmental Variables   Under the Path Variable  Edit and browse to the specific Anaconda directory that you want VSCode to use and add to PATH  I needed to Add the following   C  Users happy Anaconda3  C  Users happy Anaconda3 Scripts  C  Users happy Anaconda3 Library bin  C  Users happy Anaconda3 Library mingw-w64 bin    Your Anaconda installation directory may differ  One note is that Windows does not have the PATH variable take effect until you restart the terminal  In this case close and re-op VS code  If using a Terminal or PS Shell then close and reopen and check Path to make sure it is included

Encountered this issue while installing python 3 8 from source on ubuntu  The steps needed to install it successfully alongside the default python 3 7 are summarised below    sudo apt -y install libssl-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential  wget https   www python org ftp python 3 8 0 Python-3 8 0 tgz tar -xf Python-3 8 0 tgz cd Python-3 8 0     configure --enable-optimizations make sudo make altinstall   The install instruction for zlib1g-dev and build-essential is redundant  as ubuntu desktop already has these  but was necessary for some of Amazon s EC2 instances  python 3 8 0 is the current release just now  but should be replaced with the latest available   These instructions are best for keeping python 3 7 as the default for python3  and running python 3 8 in a virtual environment

In my case I was running into issues with my  PATH on Linux   This can also happen on MacOS  Check to see if  usr bin pip3 install package name goes here works for you   If so then run which pip3 this will tell you which is the first directory that pip3 is installed in  If it is something like  usr local bin pip3 which is different from  usr bin pip3 then you may need to adjust your  PATH  Run echo  PATH and copy the result  The PATH is simply a colon separated list of directories that contain directories   Bash will always return the first instance of the program that you are attempting to execute   Move all the system directories upfront   Here is a list of some of the system directories   usr sbin  usr bin  sbin  bin  snap bin  If that fails then verify you have openssl installed  by running openssl version -a if not then install openssl

Fixed this without having to change anything related to TSL SSL    I was trying to see if the same thing was happening to pip  and saw that pip was broken  Did some digging and realized it s probably caused by Homebrew deleted python 2 on February 1st  2020    Running brew uninstall python 2 to delete python2 installed by Homebrew     Destroyed the virtual env created using python3 and created a new one  pip3 installing works fine again

In case of your python being an pyenv installed one  where pyenv is installed with homebrew on macOS  there might me a newer version available which fixes this    brew update  amp  amp  brew upgrade pyenv  Then reinstalling the python version    pyenv install 3 7 2 pyenv   Users luckydonald  pyenv versions 3 7 2 already exists continue with installation   y N    Note  it is a bit dirty to overwrite the existing python install like that  but in my case it did work out

Newest Python 3 8 4 or higher should able to support https protocol out of box  If you still have old python installation on your pc - either download  amp  install python3 manually  or using Chocolatey  If you don t have Chocolatey  install it - from here  https   chocolatey org docs installation You can just copy paste one command line liner and execute it from command prompt with elevated priviledges  choco install python3  if you don t have python3 installed  or you you have it installed - then  choco upgrade python3  Notice also that you can use also anaconda distribution  as it has built-in python with https support  but this rather ancient instructions  no need to follow them anymore  Install anaconda  using command line  choco install anaconda3  Set environment variables  set PATH C  tools Anaconda3 Scripts C  tools Anaconda3 C  tools Anaconda3 Library bin  PATH   and then run command which failed  In my case it was  pip install conan  Anaconda uses separate python installation  and pip is also anaconda specific

The problem probably comes from your installed openssl package version  That was the case for me and I fixed this issue just upgrading it  I m on Mac OS  using brew     brew upgrade openssl   If you installed python with brew  this should directly fix the issue with it  as python is dependent on openssl
