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

Question

I am using Python3.6, when I try to install \"modules\" using pip3, I am facing the below mentioned issue \"pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SS

Answer 1

In case of your python being an pyenv installed one, where pyenv is installed with homebrew on macOS, there might me a newer version available which fixes this:

$ brew update && brew upgrade pyenv

Then reinstalling the python version:

$ pyenv install 3.7.2
pyenv: /Users/luckydonald/.pyenv/versions/3.7.2 already exists
continue with installation? (y/N) 

Note, it is a bit dirty to overwrite the existing python install like that, but in my case it did work out.
