Python virtualenv pip 安装给出 ssl 错误

Question

Okay so I'm trying to set up a virtualenv (on legacy server btw) (python3.6.9, ubuntu 18.10), but whenever I try to install packages for it I get

pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

This is the case for pip , pip3 , pip3.6 , python -m pip , python3 -m pip and python3.6 -m pip . I have tried reinstalling python, pip, virtualenv and other stuff, but it seems to persist whatever I try.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Alright, so I found something that worked. The ssl was apparently more broken than I expected, but thanks to the fact that we had a second server which did function normally, I was able to copy the file (for those interested: cp /usr/local/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload/_ssl.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so tmp , then connect SFTP Net drive to extract tmp, connect to other server and insert tmp, then cp tmp /usr/local/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload/_ssl.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so ) and that made it function (almost) normally (small warnings aside).
