由于 OSError 无法安装软件包：[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] 证书验证失败：自签名证书 (_ssl.c:1131)

Question

I'been trying to sovle this problem by reading differents answers in here but none of them turn out to be "the solution",so I would try to breafly explain my situation so you guys can give me a clue. The thing is that when I try to run pip install <package> it start with this warnings (just to show you, use as an example fastapi):

  WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=3, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate (_ssl.c:1131)'))': /packages/4f/46/226355e82ccb4be82e06269e9a546f16c1d87fbda2286fb5d36a1c31af9e/fastapi-0.75.0-py3-none-any.whl

And it ends with:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='files.pythonhosted.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /packages/4f/46/226355e82ccb4be82e06269e9a546f16c1d87fbda2286fb5d36a1c31af9e/fastapi-0.75.0-py3-none-any.whl (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1,'[SSL:CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate(_ssl.c:1131)')))

The first thing that I tried was pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org <package> , but it only gave me another error. So I started to read about SSL Certificates, and when the error says self signed certificates it means that the server that I'm trying to connect, his certificte is self-signed by the server itself or the entity that provides the chain signature is not in the white list of the browser. And in fact it is so! .

But when I use some of the online tools to check the certificates for this site everything seems to be reliable .

Context:

• Last time I download a package was about a month ago (I realize of this yesterday)
• Python version: 3.8.10 / pip version: 21.1.1
• Windows 10 / Personal machine and Home network (No company permissions)
• This happend at every level: when trying to build a docker, inside a venv and also at System level (outside venv)

So, I don't know where to start really. Is my local machine the problem?, is pythonhosted the problem?, Am I mixing things up?, Should I uninstall/re-install Python?

Answer 1

Below command should solve your problem.

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org 
<package-name>

Eg:

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org 
pandas
