Can't pip install packages in python 3.6 due to ssl error

问题

I'm working on a remote server. When I try to install anything with pip within my virtual environment I get an error:

(venv) [barta@bivoj program]$ pip install -r requirements.txt 
pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.
Collecting joblib==0.11 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
  Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/joblib/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available. - skipping

Everything is working fine with python 2.7. Can I solve this problem by myself (I don't have root access) or do I need to contact the administrator?

First I had this problem when I installed python 3.6 in my home folder. I figured that the problem might be because it's in my home folder, so I asked for a clean install of python 3.6.

I considered changing the setup.py and install again in my home, as suggested here by Claudio:

pip3 installs inside virtual environment with python3.6 failing due to ssl module not available

but I didn't find any openssl folder. There is openssl in /usr/bin, but that is not a directory. I searched for the ssl.h file, but did not find it anywhere.

Sounds like you've built python from source without libssl-dev present.

Run:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo ./configure
sudo make altinstall

Tested in Ubuntu 16.04/18.04

In Python-3.6.4/Modules/Setup uncomment the following lines:

#   SSL=/usr/local/ssl
#   _ssl _ssl.c \
#       -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \
#       -L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto

Then recompile the package:

$ sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
$ sudo make altinstall

Also make sure that libssl-dev is installed (this is the package for debian, anyway).

This also works for Python-3.7.x.

This is how I did:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.5/Python-3.6.5.tgz
tar -xvf Python-3.6.5.tgz
cd Python-3.6.5/

./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

I got same error but actually I created python environment using a latest version of python2.7.13 and this python version was installed via source:

./configure --prefix /usr/bin/python2.7.13
make altinstall

Then creating virtualenv:

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7.13/bin/python2.7 py2.7.13env

After spending a lot of time I found that one library named libreadline6-dev was missing. So installed it:

sudo apt-get install libreadline6-dev

and repeated compile and make install steps as mentioned above and again created the virtual env. Everything worked fine this time!

If this is Windows, you need to install OpenSSL https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
