“ssl module in Python is not available” when installing package with pip3

Question

I\'ve install Python 3.4 and Python 3.6 on my local machine successfully, but am unable to install packages with pip3.

When I execute pip3 install

Answer 1

I was having the same problem for the last two days and only have fixed it right now.

I had tried to use --trust-host option with the DigiCert_High_Assurance_EV_Root_CA.pem did not work, I couldn't install the ssl module (It tells it cannot be installed for python versions greater than 2.6), setting the $PIP_CERT variable didn't fix it either and I had libssl1.0.2 and libssl1.0.0 installed. Also worth mentioning I didn't had a ~/.pip/pip.conf file, and creating it didn't solve the bug either.

What finally solved it, was installing python3.6 with make again. Download the Python-3.6.0.tgz from the website, run configure then make, make test and make install. Hope it works for you.
