"pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available." Despite running as trusted host

Question

I know there's several other people asking the same thing but neither works for me. I'm on MacOS and I'm getting "pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available." The solution everywhere is to run it as a trusted package:

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org \
          --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org \
          requests

I am getting the same error though. Is it possible to ignore ssl?

Thanks

Answer 1

Try to upgrade pip library using the below command.

sudo pip install --upgrade

Then after use below command to install SSL module of python3.x

sudo pip install ssl

Answer 2

openssl version maybe too low.
