Question

I am using:

-CentOS 6.6 on my Mac on virtual environment,

-Python 2.6.6 I am using this tutorial to install Django:

I am new to Python and Django and i found this tutorial easy to use so i was following the steps for Install through pip in a Virtualenv as i managed to install pip. it was working fine till i run pip install django command i got this output:

(djenv)[root@blue djProject]# pip install django
/root/djProject/djenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.

Answer 1

Did you follow the link that it says contains more information?

It says:

If you encounter this warning, it is strongly recommended you upgrade to a newer Python version, or that you use pyOpenSSL as described in the OpenSSL / PyOpenSSL section.

Python 2.6.x is very old.
