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

I got into this problem using Ubuntu, pyenv and Python 3.8.1 managed by pyenv. There was actually no way to get pip to work correctly, since every time I tried to install anything, including pip itself, the same error showed up. Final solution was to install, via pyenv, a newer version, in this case 3.8.6. Apparently, from 3.8.4 Python is prepared to run SSL/TLS out of the box, so everything worked fine.
